A history of the legendary music studio behind Queen, Oasis, and
more--updated with new chapters about the last twenty years.
Rockfield is a recording studio that lives up to its name. Over the past
fifty 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, Motörhead to present day acts like Thunder
and The Dirty Youth. A rich narrative history packed with
behind-the-scenes anecdotes, updated since its original 2007 release,
Rock Legends at Rockfield features interviews with legendary artists
who tell the bizarre tales behind modern classics like Queen's "Bohemian
Rhapsody" and Oasis's "Live Forever." Along the way, Jeff Collins
examines how these dilapidated farm buildings and solid-stone studios
became one of the most famous brands in recording history. 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.
