ALL COMPLETE, ORIGINAL and EX+ 1st Pressing
**WITH NO WARNER LOGO'S ON ANY LABELS**
(The 1st pressing here!)
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 Vinyl:
EX+!!
I have just given them a gentle professional vacuum clean, followed by an Ultrasonic bath and then listened to the album all the way through...AT VOLUME!
SUPERB!!....
Each of the 2 lps are in wonderful condition and provide a DEEP and satisfying bass and drum reproduction, with high peaks of great guitar riffs...WOW
Each also sit FLAT on my deck and shine out :)
QUALITY vinyl with just a couple of incredibly light wispy marks-really nothing to worry about at all as they are not audible in playback.
The audio really is of superb quality-with only a couple of very light and occasional soft background pops-which fade away as soon as they (VERY OCCASIONALLY) arrive...It just reminded me I am listening to a slab of vinyl from the 1975 as intended by the band! NOT a digital format!! Most people wouldn't even mention these in their listing as they really are insignificant.
Have a listen to the clip provided to hear the quality audio for yourselves and see how flat she sits on my deck :)
**Almost silent run-ins and run-outs too**
*MAGICAL*
The Labels:
EX+
ORIGINAL 1st pressing GROOVED labels.
Barely a spindle mark on them-however light-just 2 or 3!
With NO WARNER credits to any side-showing how early this pressing really is.
Pretty much ZERO hole wear.
GLORIOUSLY UN-FADED IN COLOUR TOO....
NO writing.
TOP CONDITION.
The Inners:
EX+
Both present and are VERY well looked after.
Very 1st pressing with the correct 'A' & 'B' after the catalogue number to the back of each, in the bottom right corner.
Colours are still vibrant and the corners are still sharp.
NO SPLITS...NO WRITING
SUPERB!!!
The Insert:
EX+!
AND STILL PRESENT!
The insert carries the track listing, red lettering and Atlantic catalogue number SSK 89400.
Strong & ORIGINAL fold-out thick card.
Remains white in colour too...With just a small patch of discolouration as can be seen in the detailed images attached.
Real TOP example here!!
The Cover:
Easy EX!
This very delicate cover has survived the passages of time with grace and dignity!
It remains UNCRUSHED, with some light rubbing to the corners and edges. NON of the window partitians have come away/snapped or split-which is quite common.
There is just some handling wear from the last 46 years, but she remains solid and still very nice to look at and use too.
Remains perfectly in shape when the insides are taken out.
