Led Zeppelin are continuing their reissue campaign with the remastered version of their 1975 classic Physical Graffiti, which will be released on Feb. 24, the 40th anniversary of the album's original release date. According to Rolling Stone, the reissue was remastered by guitarist Jimmy Page (who also served as producer on every Led Zeppelin album) and will be released in a number of different formats, including a standard double CD edition, a triple CD edition with a "companion audio" bonus disc, a double LP edition, a deluxe vinyl edition, and a digital download. However, diehard fans will be most interested in the super deluxe boxset, which includes the deluxe CDs, vinyl, digital downloads, and a 96-page book of rare and unreleased photos and memorabilia.
Released in 1975, Physical Graffiti was Led Zeppelin's only double-album release, and featured many of the band's best-loved songs, such as "Kashmir," "In My Time of Dying," and "Trampled Under Foot." The album also featured seven songs that were recorded during the sessions of the band's previous albums, but had gone unused, such as "Houses of the Holy" and "The Rover." Physical Graffiti would eventually go 16x platinum in the United States, and is considered by many to be Led Zeppelin's greatest album.
