Description
Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti-2 LP-1975-Atlantic Recordings/Swan Song-USA.Physical Graffiti is a gorgeous album. It has the image of tenement buildings on the front with just the windows on the back between the song titles. This is actually the Swan Song office building in London. It marks the first time in a while that Page relented and allowed titles on the cover art.
The coveted first issue of this album, which can sell for upwards of $1,000, has red title text on the spine. The inside sleeves are also marked by catalog numbers. The printer (Gothic Print Finishers Ltd.) appears on the track listing insert.
Did you know?
The band composed and arranged the songs for Physical Graffiti at a country house in Hampshire, where they experimented and recorded enough new ideas to make the album a double. To fill the space, the rest of the songs are actually unreleased tracks from their previous albums, including Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin III, and Led Zeppelin IV. The album was ready by Winter of ’74 but the die-cut album cover designed by Peter Corriston was actually so complicated to make that the album’s release was delayed until February of ’75.
