Led Zeppelin - Physically Present
A high quality disc of "Physical Graffiti"-related material, including rehearsal room runthroughs, and some alternate mixes and takes from the studio. - Philip CohenBack in 1975, when the album was released, Jim Miller wrote the following comment in Rolling Stone magazine:
"In a virtual recapitulation of the group's career, Physical Graffiti touches all the bases. There's a blues ("In My Time of Dying") and a cosmic-cum-heavy ballad ("In the Light"); there's an acoustic interlude ("Bron-Y-Aur") and lots of bludgeoning hard rock, still this band's forte ("Houses of the Holy," "The Wanton Song"); there are also hints of Bo Diddley ("Custard Pie"), Burt Bacharach ("Down by the Seaside") and Kool and the Gang ("Trampled under Foot"). If nothing else, Physical Graffiti is a tour de force. The album's - and the band's - mainspring is Jimmy Page, guitarist extraordinaire."
Another fly-on-the-wall experience on the making of the album.
