Physical Graffiti
ORIGINAL UK SWAN SONG (SSK 89400) FIRST PRESSING (February 1975) OF LED ZEPPELIN'S OUTSTANDING DOUBLE LP SET "Physical Graffiti"
THE RECORDS HAVE THE FIRST ISSUE SWAN SONG LABELS (with "Made in UK' text and no WB log)
MATRIX NUMBERS: SSK 89400 A1 / SSK 89400 B5 / SSK 89400 C1 / SSK 89400 D1
AND ARE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL BOX SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE TWO PICTURE INNER SLEEVES
AND GATEFOLD ‘SLIP’ INSERT (for all first issue criteria, see below)
FIRST ISSUE CRITERIA:
Box Cover: The outer cover is of a top loading ‘box’ construction of thick ridged card with the following text printed on the back, top centre:
SWAN SONG / 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10
Cullderstead Ltd., trading as Swan Song
A Swan Song/Atlantic recording distributed by WEA Records Ltd., ? & © 1975
The group name, record title and catalogue number run down the left hand side spine, viewed from the front, these are printed in RED.
Inner Slip Cover: The gatefold ‘slip’ insert credits “Gothic Print Finishers Ltd., London SE9 2EQ” as the printers, along with the Swan Song SSK 89400 catalogue number and the address “SWAN SONG, 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10”
Inner Sleeves: The Inner sleeves are printed on thick card with a natural untreated grey finish to the inside surfaces. They have SSK 89400/A and SSK 89400/B respectively on the back (bottom right corner) of each of the inners. Later issues were thinner card with a smooth finish to the inside.
Labels: The labels are the easiest identifying factors for an original UK 1st issue as they should be clearly marked “Made in UK” but most importantly have NO small circular WB (Warner Brothers) Logo at the end of the bottom rim text. The WB logo was introduced onto the label in mid 1975 just a few months after the release, so any label with the WB logo is not from the very first batch of pressings
Led Zeppelin returned from a nearly two-year hiatus in 1975 with Physical Graffiti, a sprawling, ambitious double album.
Zeppelin treat many of the songs on Physical Graffiti as forays into individual styles, only occasionally synthesising sounds, notably on the tense, Eastern-influenced "Kashmir."
With John Paul Jones' galloping keyboard, "Trampled Underfoot" ranks as their funkiest metallic grind, while "Houses of the Holy" is as effervescent as pre-Beatles pop and "Down by the Seaside" is the closest they've come to country. Even the heavier blues -- the 11-minute "In My Time of Dying," the tightly wound "Custard Pie," and the monstrous epic "The Rover" -- are subtly shaded, even if they're thunderously loud.
Most of these heavy rockers are isolated on the first album, with the second half of Physical Graffiti sounding a little like a scrap heap of experiments, jams, acoustic workouts, and neo-covers.
This may not be as consistent as the first platter, but its quirks are entirely welcome, not just because they encompass the mean, decadent "Sick Again," but the heartbreaking "Ten Years Gone" and the utterly charming acoustic rock & roll of "Boogie With Stu" and "Black Country Woman."
Yes, some of this could be labeled as filler, but like any great double album, its appeal lies in its great sprawl, since it captures elements of the band's personality rarely showcased elsewhere -- and even at its worst, Physical Graffiti towers above its hard rock peers of the mid-'70s.
