Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 24 February 1975 as a double album two years after their previous studio album. The band wrote and recorded eight songs at Headley Grange which, when combined, stretched the album beyond the typical length of an LP. This prompted the band to make Physical Graffiti a double album by including unreleased tracks from earlier recording sessions: one outtake from Led Zeppelin III; three from Led Zeppelin IV; and three from Houses of the Holy including its unused title track

The Vinyls:
These the original thick heavier chunky slab of vinyls only found like this on the earliest pressings. On visual inspection I can’t see any major nasty needle scratches and scuffs are light only. Any other marks that could possibly be seen anglerd in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type only. The playing surface looks very nice on all four sides.
The Audio Quality:
I have played this vinyl at very loud volume prior to this listing on a top system. The audio is cristal clear and vibrant through out no distortion or any signs of groove wear at all. There were some light isolated staic type clicks heard in the odd places but overall this is a great playable 1st pressed copy to have. Audio graded at least excellent in my opinion.
The Matrix Endings:
Side 1 “SSK 89400 A1″
Side 2″SSK 8900 B4″
Side 3 SSK 8900 C1″
Side 4 SSK 8900 D1”
The Labels:
These are the original SWANSONG labels (correct for this early pressing) LOOK NO WARNER LOGOS (ONLY 1ST UK PRESS) I can’t really see any spidering, angled to the light and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round. This has obviously only had very minimal play in mt opinion.
The Record Sleeves:
This is the original thick card type inner sleeves superbe condition very clean with an edge split on one sleeve i noticed only if looked for . Please note, the vinyls are now stored separately from the sleeves to prevent any further damage.
The Cover:
This is the original un laminated box type cover in excellent condition. There is general wear and tear with age and edge or corner scuffing to mention. There is no splits or tears. This features the UK “Swansong, Old Kent Road” address. only 1st issues. (Later press are made in Germany)
Summery:
Rare to find these early original Zeppelin albums in fine playable condition a great collectable and sought after album to own in my opinion..
