Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti: 50th Ann Deluxe (180g Vinyl 3LP)

Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti Reissued for Its 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition on 180g 3LP. Features a Companion Audio Disc with Seven Bonus Tracks. Includes a New Bonus Replica Promotional Poster.

Generally regarded as one of the greatest double albums of all time, the original 15 Physical Graffiti 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.”

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.

To celebrate this landmark, Led Zeppelin will release an updated 50th Anniversary edition of 2015’s Physical Graffiti Deluxe Edition 3LP vinyl set, on 180g black vinyl, still featuring the Companion Audio Disc, and now including a new bonus replica Physical Graffiti promotional poster.

In addition, this special Deluxe Edition features previously unreleased companion audio that will satisfy every fan. The companion audio for Physical Graffiti: Deluxe Edition features seven bonus tracks that offer illuminating insight, including rough mixes of “In My Time Of Dying” and “Houses of the Holy,” as well as an early mix of “Trampled Under Foot” called “Brandy & Coke.” All the unreleased companion tracks offer fans a chance to hear well-known songs from a different perspective, including the Sunset Sound mix of “Boogie With Stu” and “Driving Through Kashmir,” a rough orchestra mix of the band’s eight minute opus “Kashmir.” Also featured is “Everybody Makes It Through,” a strikingly different early version of “In The Light” with alternate lyrics.

“We had enough material for one-and-a-half LPs, so I figured, ‘Let’s put out a double and use some of the material we’d done previously but never released’. I always thought the sequencing of an album was really important and that was part of my role as the producer.” – Jimmy Page

“It goes from one extreme to the other but at the same time, it’s very evident that it’s Zeppelin… I love the album and it does work as a double album. There are some real humdinger, roaring tracks.” – Robert Plant

“I’m a big fan of Physical Graffiti. [It] was very wide ranging. It probably was a pinnacle.” – John Paul Jones
