As a session player before the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin Jimmy learned all the silks to produce music in the recording industry. Jimmy and Peter Grant took control of Zeppelins future path in all forms. They where the first band to not let a record label take the majority of the earnings created from the band.

Physical Graffiti was the first ever album to "ship Platinum", meaning 1,000,000 copies were sent out before its release date. Soon after its release, all five previous LZ albums reentered the Billboard charts. In my opinion, Physical Graffiti is Led Zeppelin at their best and most dangerous. Raw energy, raw emotion, technically and sonically perfect. Some songs are meant to be played in arenas, some are meant to be played in stadiums, much of this album would sound best played in a dark and smokey bar. Imagine watching them performing The Rover in a small club; this is not a band you want to mess around with. Their previous releases proved they could do and excel at whatever they wanted; this one proved they could do it best. This is Zeppelin at its creative peak. Even Rolling Stone Magazine called it "Tommy, Beggar's Banquet, and Sgt. Pepper rolled into one" (those are considered the most creative albums from The Who, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles). Yet surprisingly, on RSM's list of Zeppelin's greatest songs, only 1 song from this album cracks the Top 25. It might not be as radio-friendly as previous releases. But if I was stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life with only one album, this would be it.

Take it from someone who was 16 at the time this album was released. No internet, no MTV, no music sharing sites, really not much radio play as Zeppelin didn't release singles. If you were a fan of theirs you bought the record, if you were lucky enough to get tickets to their concerts, more power to you. I was a fan already so plopping down my hard earned $16 was a no brainer.

LZ never performed Custard Pie in concert. The lyrics are based on several old American blues songs, and, as you might suspect, are heavy with sexual innuendo, as is much of that genre. Regarding critical reviews -- you have to remember that you are looking at this nearly 50 years after the song/album was originally released. Music critics at the time had mixed opinions of Led Zeppelin; the mainstream writers were often confused and surprised by the band's musical selections, and their refusal to stick to a predictable genre and style. Later reviewers had the benefit of the hindsight of history and comparison with other contemporary music; it's difficult to negatively review a 16x platinum album.

The 8 tracks they recorded for this album ended up being 3 album sides long in playing time so they added previously unreleased tracks to extend it to 4 sides, or a double album. It was released in 1975 and the extended version, released in 2015, added alternative arrangements of some of the songs on the original album. I believe the instrument you heard that caused you to pause was Jones on an electric keyboard called the Clavinet, which can create electric guitar sounds. Sadly, I don't think they ever performed Custard Pie live.

Wow, am i ever glad youve arrived at this double-header of diverse diamonds. (NO "rough" here!) custard pie is funky and sleazy and groovy AF. The next track, The Rover, is groovier still. The solo's magic, the lyrics superb. The third and last track on side one? I'm flashing on that scene in "Twister," where one of the characters asks the tornado expert (Bill Paxton) what the final stage on the scale of tornado damage, "F5," means. A pause, and a hush forms. "Finger of God," Paxton says quietly, a look of growing awe on his face. Yup, "In My Time of Dying" may just be that for you here. (Jimmy Page's fingers ARE guitar-godly...) I think it's one of their best songs, it's soooo sustained and intense and its 10+ minutes grab you by the throat, the heart, the brain, the balls, and then it comes for your ears, which, if properly played (LOUDLY) should be ringing afterwards. Starts out slowly, a menacing , hypnotically honey-dripping blues bit (It was based on what they call an old "Negro Spiritual" by Blind Willie Johnson, whom Page and Plant especially revered) , then erupts into a thunderous frenzy of pulse-pounding power, led by Bonham, beating the drums like they owed him money. JPJ's bassline, though a bit hard to hear, is worth straining for. Intricate yet perfectly matched to the rhythm. Page is conducting alchemy with his slide geetar wizardry, and Plant's pleading vocals directed to Jesus and Heaven's Saints would cause an atheist to make a bee-line to "Chuch." OK, cheesy: now you know why I never became a rock critic, lol! But, dude: Physical Grafitti, Side One. Three of the coolest and hottest songs in this miraculous band's catalog. "Flip it over," (Yeah, I'm old, lol!) there's more! Trampled Under Foot, for one...And then Disc 2, which is just as good in its way, but i'll STFU about it now! It's kinda like The Beatles "White Album," a masterpiece just showing off all the different things they could do. But Disc 1 is just bone-crunching rock at its finest, full effing stop. Enjoy!

It depends what you mean by 'good'. If something pleases most people it will get good reviews but there are quirky things that fewer people enjoy but they aren't necessarily bad - maybe just harder work or takes more than one listening or viewing to appreciate. After all when Led Zeppelin first launched their music the music press seemed to hate them and their records got bad reviews. Probably a lot of people didn't get Pink Floyd's early music at first. The same happened to classic musicians. People walked out of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' because it was so innovative and unexpected they didn't appreciate it.

How Bonham's drums are so powerful? The soft, almost hidden guitar parts you have to strain to hear. These are common themes of the first album. Thats part of what made Jimmy Page so great. He was an innovative and amazing producer as well. Comes from all those years as a studio musician before he ever joined a band. I am sure you can figure out what "Custard Pie " is if you think of a woman's anatomy. LOL. The album cover is a tenement building in Manhattan in the East village thats still there today. Just north of Houston Street. Known as Alphabet City. The map actually says Ukraine Village, which is news to me but sort of relevant these days.
