Led Zeppelin : Physical Graffiti ( Deluxe Edition + Interview )
Physical Graffiti
is the sixth
studio album
by the
English rock band
Led Zeppelin
released as a
double album
on February 24 1975
by their newly
founded imprint label
Swan Song Records.
The band wrote
and recorded
eight new songs
for the album at
Headley Grange,
which stretched
the total time
of the
record beyond
the typical length
of a single LP,
so the band
decided to make
Physical Graffiti
a double album by
including
unreleased tracks
from earlier
recording sessions:
one outtake
from
Led Zeppelin III,
three from
Led Zeppelin IV,
and three from
Houses of the Holy,
including the
unused title track
from the latter album.
Physical Graffiti
was commercially
and critically
successful upon
its release and
debuted at
number one
on album charts
in both the US
and the UK.
The album was later
certified 16x platinum
in the United States
by the Recording
Industry Association
of America (RIAA)
in 2006,
signifying shipments of
over eight million copies.
Several tracks
off the album
became live staples
at Led Zeppelin
concerts.
In particular,
"In My Time of Dying",
"Trampled Under Foot",
"Kashmir",
"Ten Years Gone",
"Black Country Woman",
and
"Sick Again"
became regular
components of
the band's
live concert
set lists following
the release
of the album.
According to
Robert Plant,
of all the albums
Led Zeppelin released,
Physical Graffiti
represented the band
at its most creative
and most expressive.
He has commented that
it is his favorite
Led Zeppelin album.
Similarly,
guitarist
Jimmy Page
considers this album
to be a
"high-water mark"
for Led Zeppelin
The album's intricate
die-cut sleeve design
depicts a
photograph of a
New York City brownstone
tenement block,
through whose windows
various cultural icons
could be
interchangeably viewed.
The album designer,
Peter Corriston,
was looking for a
building that
was symmetrical
with
interesting details,
that was not
obstructed by
other objects
and would fit
the square album cover
This Deluxe Edition
features bonus material
containing
alternative takes
and previously
unreleased songs,
"Brandy & Coke",
"Everybody Makes It Through"
and
"Driving Through Kashmir".
The reissue was
released with an
inverted color version
of the original
album's artwork
as its bonus disc's cover
