Led Zeppelin, Anvil,
Rockaway Records has announced its recent purchase of one of the world’s largest LED ZEPPELIN collections. The collection includes more than one ton at 2,500 pounds of LED ZEPPELIN records (LPs and 45s), CDs, books, magazines, concert programs and tickets, T-shirts and memorabilia. A small part of the collection is on sale at Rockaway’s online store, while the bulk of the collection is available at the Rockaway Records retail store in Los Angeles.
ZEPPELIN fans, collectors and others interested in owning a piece of rock history must hurry as the collection is selling fast.
The new inventory of LED ZEPPELIN vinyl and memorabilia is only a fraction of the wide ranging items available from Rockaway Records. For more than 30 years, the store has sold CDs, DVDs, posters and other items to fans and collectors worldwide. Rockaway’s inventory is constantly changing. The store’s buyers travel around the world looking for music memorabilia and are seldom outbid on high-quality collections.
Rockaway’s retail store is probably best known for having one of the greatest selections of used CDs and DVDs in Los Angeles, with the average price of a CD or DVD around $5. The online store is known worldwide for having the best selection of rare and collectible vinyl (LPs and 45s), posters, awards and memorabilia. Rockaway.com sells all types of music from the 1950s to the present, but its specialty is classic rock, featuring an incredible selection of rarities by THE BEATLES, BEACH BOYS, LED ZEPPELIN, ALICE COOPER and FRANK ZAPPA.
Since its inception, Rockaway has sold some of the world’s rarest records and memorabilia, including the 2008 sale of a BEATLES record for $80,000. The record was a 1966 sealed mint-condition original first state stereo “butcher cover” that came from the collection of Alan Livingston, president of Capitol Records in 1966.
Rockaway Records’ retail store is located at 2395 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 in the Silverlake area. Rockaway Records is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – VH1 has acquired theatrical distribution rights to the documentary “Anvil! The Story of Anvil,” a real-life heavy metal tale that has drawn comparisons to the mockumentary classic “This Is Spinal Tap.”
Directed by Sacha Gervasi, “Anvil!” follows the band from a 1980s stadium tour with Scorpions and Bon Jovi to recent gigs in bars. Although the film has comic moments, it’s a poignant and ultimately uplifting story that has picked up a slew of festival awards, including audience awards in Los Angeles and Sydney.
The network plans an April 10 release in at least 18 cities, accompanied by heavy on-air support. VH1 will run the movie’s full-length trailer like a music video and feature on-air appearances by the band.
VH1 Classic will present a series of seven events in U.S. cities timed to the release of “Anvil!” Each will include a screening of the film and performance by the band.
