Physical Graffiti is the sixth album, a double album by the English hard rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released on February 24, 1975 and was the band's first release on its own Swan Song Records label.

The recording sessions for Physical Graffiti took place in January and February 1974 at Headley Grange in East Hampshire, England. Several of the songs on the album, however, were recorded during the sessions for previous Led Zeppelin albums. The instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur" was recorded in July 1970 at Island Studios, London, for Led Zeppelin II. "Night Flight" and "Boogie with Stu" were recorded at Headley Grange and "Down by the Seaside" at Island Studios, all for Led Zeppelin IV. "The Rover" and "Black Country Woman" were recorded at the same sessions as "D'yer Mak'er" at Stargroves using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio in May 1972. "Houses of the Holy" was also recorded in May 1972, but at Olympic Studios. The group's fifth album Houses of the Holy took its title from this song, despite the decision not to include the song on that album.

The remaining eight songs were all recorded during the sessions for Physical Graffiti in early 1974. Additional overdubs were added and the final mixing was performed in October 1974 by Keith Harwood.

THE ALBUM COVER!!!!

The original album jacket for the LP included die-cut windows on the building shown on the cover. As the inner sleeves for the discs were inserted in different orientations, various objects and people would appear in the windows, including photos of the band members in drag. The two buildings photographed for the album cover are located at 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in New York City These are the same buildings Mick JaggEr is in front of in the Rolling Stones music video "Waiting on a Friend".!!!!!

SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE THE ENDINGS WERE CHANGED TO (-A1 -B4 -C1 -D1 FOR EXAMPLE)THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING IS THESE FEATURE MADE IN THE UK ON THE LABELS LATER PRESS DIDN'T!!!! PLEASE NOTE!

VERY SOON AFTER PRODUCTION THIS LOGO IS NOT FEATURED!!!! THE COVER IS OF A THICKER CARD BOX MATERIAL THAN LATER PRESSINGS WITH TEXTURED ON THE INSIDE AND SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE (ONLY 1ST PRESS) THE OTHER VERY IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THESE EARLY PRESSINGS ARE THE WRITING ON THE REAR OF THE COVER WHICH ARE DIFFERENT TO LATER PRESSINGS (THESE 1ST PRESS COVERS ARE UK PRINTED) LATER COVERS ARE GERMAN COVERS!!!! OFTEN PERSEIVED ON EBAY AS 1ST PRESS COVERS WHEN IN FACT THEY ARN'T!!!!!!(SEE PHOTO) THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS 1ST PRESS IS THE INSERTS!!! THE ORIGINAL FOLDED WHITE INSERT IS OF A MUCH THICKER CARD THAN LATER PRESS AND IS SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND TEXTURED ON THE INSIDE!!!!(ONLY 1ST PRESS) !!!!ALSO THE TWO ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS  RECORD SLEEVES ARE OF THICKER CARD MATERIAL SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND TEXTURED ON THE INSIDE!!!

(PLEASE SEE PHOTOS) THIS IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL! THE VERY VERY EARLIEST EVER OF THIS PRESSING!!!!  THIS TOTALY COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL ALBUM IS SO RARE TO FIND IN THIS AWESOME CONDITION VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED THERE IS (NO) VISABLE SIGNS THAT THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED!!!!!!!!

THE VINYLS

THESE ARE BOTH IN VERY NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION LOOK VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED AND VERY VERY RARELY EVER SEEN IN THISCONDITION ON INITIAL INSPECTION THE VINYLS LOOK  LIKE NEW! IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE A BLEMISH!! WHEN LOOKED AT UNDER A STRONG LIGHT I CAN SEE ONLY ONE LIGHT MINOR SURFACE SCRATCH ON EACH VINYL! (NON AUDIO SOUNDING) ANY OTHER POSSIBLE MARKS THAT COULD BE SEEN IN STRONG LIGHT COULD ONLY BE CAUSED BY THE VINYLS BEEN SLID IN AND OUT OF THEIR SLEEVES!!!!! 

THE AUDIO

I HAVE PLAYED BOTH VINYLS TRACK FOR TRACK ON A TOP SYSTEM AT VERY LOUD VOLUME! THIS PLAYS THROUGH TRULY AWESOME! CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT ALL OF THE WAY THROUGH WITH (NO) SIGNS OF DISTORTION OR THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED! THE AMAIZING THING ABOUT THE AUDIO QUALITY ON THIS PRESSING IS THAT THERE IS VERY VERY MINIMAL STATIC SURFACE  CRACKLE THAT CAN REALLY ONLY BE HEARD ONLY AT VERY LOUD VOLUME ON EXTREEMELY QUIET TRACKS! IN MY OPINION THIS ALBUM SOUNDS BETTER THAN SOME PRESSINGS THAT I'VE HEARD IN ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION!! PLEASE NOTE! I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE AUDIO QUALITY!,(THIS IS MY PRIME INTEREST), PLEASE LOOK AT MY COMPLETED LISTINGS OF RECORDS THAT I HAVE SOLD OF THIS CALABER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALLY GET IT RIGHT!

TO SUM UP! ABSOLUTELY TOP! AUDIO THROUGHOUT THIS AUDIO WILL BE HARD TO SURPASS! (ONLY REALLY FOUND ON THESE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS! AN ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT FACTOR RELATING TO THE RICH DEEP BASSEY FEEL AND ASTONISHING SEPERATION IS THE FACT THAT THE VINYL IS MADE OF A THICKER MATERIAL THAN LATER PRESSINGS!

PLEASE NOTE! I ALWAYS ADD THIS DISCLAIMER! I HAVE PLAYED BOTH VINYLS TRACK DFOR TRACK ON A TOP SYSTEM AT LOUD VOLUME PRIOR TO LISTING! I HAVE GIVEN MY VERY HONEST OPINION WHEN DESCRIBING THE AUDIO QUALITY!! BOTH VINYL PLAY THROUGH CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT WITH (NO) SIGNS OF DISTORTION OR THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED! PLEASE ALLOW FOR THE ODD VERY (VERY) LIGHT STATIC CRACKLE, ONLY EVER HEARD IN VERY (VERY) FEW PLACES (NOT) CONSISTANT THROUGH OUT THE AUDIO! PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A GENUINE 33 YEAR OLD ALBUM\VINYLS ,,THAT WOULD HAVE ORIGINALY BEEN PLAYED ON A 33 YEAR OLD SYSTEM!  

IMPORTANT NOTE! THESE VINYLS HAVE BEEN STORED IN A CASE FOR AT LEAST 25 YEARS LAYING DORMANT! A BUILD UP OF DIRT AND DUST TRAPPED IN THE GROOVES OVER THE YEARS, CAUSES STATIC TICKS AND CRACKLE! FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIANCE A CONSTANT CLEAN BEFORE EACH PLAY DRASTICALLY REDUCES THIS AND SUBSEQUENTLY ENHANCES THE AUDIO QUALITY!!!!!
