Description

Released in February 1975, Physical Graffiti was Led Zeppelin's sixth studio album. It hadn't originally been envisaged as a double disc set, but the band were going through such a creative phase at the time that they found their recorded material was far in excess of the standard 40 minutes-worth for an LP. So they added out-takes from previous studio albums:- one from Led Zeppelin III, three from IV and three from Houses of the Holy.
The result is an expansive and ambitious collection, covering a host of musical styles - hard rock, blues, funk, prog, eastern-tinged orchestral rock, country rock and even acoustic folk.  It quickly became a platinum-seller, cementing their position as the world's biggest rock band of the era. Robert Plant described it as representing the band at their most creative, while Jimmy Page considered it their 'high water mark.' 
The packaging was also a highlight, consisting of an intricate cut-out of a New York tenement, with iconic images revealed behind the 'windows' ranging from Neil Armstrong to Lee Harvey Oswald.
An album which rightly deserves the huge plaudits it has received over the years.
