Physical Graffiti 50th Anniversary Deluxe edition

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their iconic sixth album, Physical Graffiti, with a new 3LP deluxe edition featuring the Companion Audio disc, now including a new bonus replica Physical Graffiti promotional poster (sized 443mm x 610mm).

 

Released on February 24, 1975 in the US (and four days later in the UK), Physical Graffiti immediately achieved platinum sales status and has recently been certified 17x platinum. Its commercial success was equalled by its critical reception. Generally regarded as one of the greatest double albums of all time, the original 15 tracks represent a creative tour de force that explores the band’s dynamic musical range, from the driving rock of “Custard Pie” to the exotic construction of “Kashmir” and the funky groove of “Trampled Under Foot.”

 

Physical Graffiti was comprised of new compositions including “Kashmir”, “Sick Again”, “Ten Years Gone”, “The Wanton Song”, “Custard Pie”, “Trampled Under Foot” and “In My Time Of Dying”, as well as unreleased songs from earlier album sessions: “Houses Of The Holy”, “The Rover”, “Black Country Woman” (from Houses Of The Holy sessions), “Down By The Seaside”, “Boogie With Stu”, “Night Flight” (from Untitled, a.k.a. Led Zeppelin IV, sessions), and “Bron-Yr-Aur” (from Led Zeppelin III sessions).

 

Jimmy Page began the initial work at his home studio in Plumpton, Sussex, England, in the summer and autumn of 1973, with the first recording sessions taking place that October at Headley Grange, using Ronnie Lane’s Mobile Studio. Further sessions at Headley continued in January 1974. Additional overdubs were recorded at Olympic Studios, where Page completed mixing of the album in July 1974.
