PHYSICAL GRAFFITI is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. Released as a double album on 24th February 1975 in the United States and on 28th February 1975 in the United Kingdom, it was the group's first album to be released under their new label, Swan Song Records. The album covered a range of styles including hard rock, progressive rock, rock 'n' roll and folk. The album was then mixed over summer 1974 and planned for an end-of-year release. However, its release was delayed because the Peter Corriston-designed die-cut album cover proved difficult to manufacture. The album was originally released with a die-cut sleeve design depicting a New York City tenement block, through whose windows various cultural icons could be interchangeably viewed. Eschewing the usual gatefold design in favour of a special die-cut cover, the original album jacket included four covers made up of two inners for each disc, a middle insert cover and an outer cover. The middle insert cover is white and details all the album track listings and recording information. The outer cover has die-cut windows on the building, so when the middle cover is wrapped around the inner covers and slid into the outer cover, the title of the album is shown on the front cover, spelling out the name PHYSICAL GRAFFITI. In 1976, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Album Package. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI was successful upon its release. It was promoted by a successful US tour and a five-night residency at Earl's Court, London. The album has been reissued on CD several times. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI was later certified 16× Platinum in the United States in 2006.

Led Zeppelin returned from a nearly two-year hiatus in 1975 with the double-album PHYSICAL GRAFFITI, their most sprawling and ambitious work. The majority of the tracks on PHYSICAL GRAFFITI are individual stylistic workouts. The highlights are when Zeppelin incorporate influences and stretch out into new stylistic territory, most notably on the tense, Eastern-influenced "Kashmir". "Trampled Under Foot", with John Paul Jones' galloping keyboard, is their best funk-metal workout, while "Houses Of The Holy" is their best attempt at pop, and "Down By The Seaside" is the closest they've come to country. Even the heavier blues the 11-minute "In My Time of Dying", the tightly wound "Custard Pie" and the monstrous epic "The Rover", are louder and more extended and textured than their previous work. Also, all of the heavy songs are on the first record, leaving the rest of the album to explore more adventurous territory, whether it's acoustic tracks or grandiose but quiet epics like the affecting "Ten Years Gone". On a second half of PHYSICAL GRAFFITI "Sick Again" is the meanest, most decadent rocker they ever recorded, and the folky acoustic rock and roll of "Boogie With Stu" and "Black Country Woman" may be tossed off, but they have a relaxed, off-hand charm that Zeppelin never matched. It takes a while to sort out all of the music on the album, but PHYSICAL GRAFFITI captures the whole experience of Led Zeppelin at the top of their game better than any of their other albums.
