Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti 1975 U.S. Presswell 2LP Vinyl NM

Description

Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti 1975 vinyl is the band’s monumental double album and one of the defining releases of their catalog. Released on Swan Song Records, the sprawling 15-track set includes “Kashmir,” “Trampled Under Foot,” “Ten Years Gone,” “The Rover,” “In My Time of Dying,” “Custard Pie,” “Houses of the Holy” and “The Wanton Song.”

This copy is an original 1975 U.S. Presswell pressing, identified by the PR markings in the runouts. Sides A-C feature F.T. mastering markings, while Side D carries the AT-GP signature associated with mastering engineer George Piros.

Both records have been carefully play-tested, with all four sides playing at Near Mint level.

Just as important for collectors, this copy retains the elaborate original packaging that made Physical Graffiti instantly recognizable: the die-cut top-opening outer jacket, folded window insert and both printed inner sleeves. The cover, insert and inner sleeves grade VG++, with some wear visible along the upper opening consistent with age and the unusual construction of the package.
