Epic Rocking: 6 of the 15 songs on this album go over 6 minutes.The implication is that the singer is so good in bed she'll kick her man out of the house to be with him.See me comin', throw your man out the door The "back door man" is a common trope in blues, where a woman's lover runs out the back door to avoid being caught by her boyfriend/husband. Badass Boast: "Custard Pie" has a surprisingly subtle one (by this band's standards, at least).This usage was no doubt inspired by similar imagery in Robert Johnson's song "Terraplane Blues", but Johnson's song was about infidelity, whereas Zeppelin's song is just about giving into sexual temptation. Auto Erotica: "Trampled Under Foot" is a strange example because it's not necessarily about having sex in a car it uses car parts as a barely veiled metaphor for sexual activity.Robert Plant – lead vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitar on "Boogie with Stu".Jimmy Page – electric, acoustic, lap steel and slide guitar, mandolin, production.John Paul Jones – bass guitar, organ, acoustic and electric piano, mellotron, guitar, mandolin, VCS 3 synthesiser, Hohner clavinet, Hammond organ, string arrangement.It has sold nearly ten million copies worldwide and continues to be one of the band's most critically acclaimed works for showcasing the band's mastery of a wide diversity of styles. This resulted in an album that covered even more stylistic ground than their other albums.Īs a result, Physical Graffiti was a commercial and critical success (even garnering praise from Rolling Stone, of all places, which had disparaged most of the band's previous works). so they made this a double album by including one outtake from Led Zeppelin III note "Bron-Yr-Aur", and three each from Led Zeppelin IV note "Down by the Seaside", "Night Flight", "Boogie with Stu" and Houses of the Holy note "The Rover", "Houses of the Holy", "Black Country Woman", including the unused title track.
As a result, artists typically avoided including more than about 23 minutes per LP side if they could help it, although much longer single LPs have been produced. Moreover, if a record has narrow enough grooves, a worn or damaged needle can even destroy the record. These eight songs stretched the total playing time of the record beyond a single LP's optimal length, note The eight songs from the 1974 sessions ran for some 54 minutes, which still would fit on a single LP if the grooves were spaced closer together, but this in turn requires reducing the average volume of the record and therefore reduces the signal to noise ratio (and thus the sound quality). The band wrote and recorded eight new songs at Headley Grange. Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released as a double album on 24 February 1975.
