LED ZEPPELIN Physical Graffiti
New & Sealed Audiophile Vinyl 2 Record Set

Record Label: Classic Records/Swan Song SS2-200 1198


2001. Limited Edition Audiophile. All-Analogue Half Speed Mastering from the original Master Tapes. Proprietary High Quality, Virgin Vinyl, 180 gram Pressing. Probably the most collectable of all the Classic Records/Led Zeppelin titles.

Classic Records pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings. Classic Records have gone out of business and all of it's releases are long out of print. Their extensive catalog of half-speed mastered reissues are regarded by audiophiles as some of the best sounding LPs ever produced.

Review: After a two-year recording gap (the longest in their recording career up to that point), Led Zeppelin followed the rampant eclecticism of HOUSES OF THE HOLY with the embarrassment of riches that is PHYSICAL GRAFFITI. One could be forgiven for thinking of this expansive double-length set as Zeppelin's WHITE ALBUM. It's a great schizophrenic beast, the first side containing the most concentrated dose of pure hard-rock energy the band had delivered since their first two albums, and the second showing off the more subtle nuances of their talent.This is really Jimmy Page's album, from the masterfully moody Eastern setting of "Kashmir" to the poignant liquidity of "Down by the Seaside" and the furious riffing of "Trampled Under Foot." The 1950s-style rocker "Boogie with Stu" (featuring Stones pianist Ian Stewart) and the rural romp "Bron-Yr-Aur" add yet more colors to the spectrum of what may be the most emotionally satisfying album in the Led Zeppelin canon.

Physical Graffiti remains an essential part of any collection and Classic did their usual excellent job on this landmark album. It looks and feels great (vinyl lovers will understand what I'm talking about here), and sounds even better.
