Physical Graffiti is the sixth album by the English hard rock band Led Zeppelin. It is a double album which was released on February 24, 1975. Recording sessions for the album were initially plagued by health problems by John Paul Jones, who was considering leaving the band. After reuniting at Headley Grange, the band wrote and recorded eight songs, the combined length of which stretched the album beyond the typical length of an LP. This prompted the band to make Physical Graffiti a double album by including previously unreleased tracks from older recording sessions.
Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful; the album has sold 16 million copies in the United States alone and has come to be regarded as one of Led Zeppelin's defining works.
