"Rockfield" is a recording studio that literally lives up to its
name. Over the past thirty years, this rural Monmouthshire locale
has played host to a bevy of British musical legends--from Robert
Plant, Queen, and Black Sabbath to Oasis, the Stone Roses, Simple
Minds to present day acts like The Darkness and Kasabian--as its
unique acoustics have helped to define the sounds of many of rock's
most classic albums. A rich narrative history packed with
previously unheard behind-the-scenes anecdotes, "Rock Legends at
Rockfield" features recent interviews with legendary artists who
tell the bizarre tales behind the recording of modern classics like
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Oasis's "Live Forever." Some
accounts are from the musicians themselves, including Lemmy from
Motorhead and Robert Plant, while others are told by those a step
or two removed--the roadies, producers, photographers, and
hangers-on that helped to coax the strange happenings that
accompanied the otherwise mundane routine of day-to-day recording.
Along the way, author Jeff Collins examines how this dilapidated
set of farm buildings and their solid-stone studios rose to become
one of the most famous brands in recording history--and a stage for
musical excess and excellence. Not to be missed by any fan of
British music or classic rock scholar, "Rock Legends at Rockfield"
is an uproarious and eminently readable look at one of the most
legendary studios in the world.
