This Day in Music History: Led Zeppelin/Physical Graffiti (02/24)

Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released as a double album on this day in 1975. 



The band wrote and recorded eight new songs for the album but they stretched the total time of the record beyond the typical length of a single LP, so the band decided 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 the unused title track

Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful; the album went 16x platinum in the US in 2006, signifying shipments of eight million copies, and was a #1 album in both the US and UK.
