Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti (1975)

Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by British rock group Led Zeppelin and the group's only double album of original content, released on February 24, 1975. The album has been certified 16x Platinum (Estimated 8,000,000 units shipped since the album is a double album) in the United States and 2x Platinum in the United Kingdom. Led Zeppelin's sixth album charted at #1 on both the UK Albums Chart and the U.S. Billboard 200.

Physical Graffiti included one single with a B-side: "Trampled Under Foot"/"Black Country Woman." Other notable songs on the album include: "Kashmir," "Houses of the Holy," "Custard Pie," "Ten Years Gone," and "In My Time of Dying." Physical Graffiti was recorded at Headley Grange, the same location where Led Zeppelin had recorded their fourth and fifth albums at the recommendation of rock group Fleetwood Mac (see "The Best Album of 1971").

Notable of Physical Graffiti is that Led Zeppelin wrote and recorded only eight songs for the album. The remainder of the album includes unreleased songs from recording sessions of previous studio albums: one from Led Zeppelin III, three from Led Zeppelin IV, and three from Houses of the Holy. These seven songs are listed below along with the corresponding album and album's year of release.
