Now, 40 years to the week after its original release, it is the turn of Physical Graffiti. Out on Monday, with extra whistles, bells and seven supplementary tracks, Zep’s sixth still lives up to its billing as one of the best double albums of all time.
The record took 18 months to finish, with sessions delayed when bassist John Paul Jones announced he was leaving to become a choirmaster at Winchester Cathedral.

Несмотря на почетный титул "дедов хэви-метал", легендарные Led Zeppelin всегда выстраивали магические круги своих песен вокруг одних лишь голосов и гитар. А электрический саунд и плотно сбитые аранжировки лишь оберегали это хрупкое волшебство от нападок зложелателей. Правда, никто доселе не пытался по-настоящему очистить бессмертные хиты до акустической первоосновы и проверить - есть ли там эта магия на самом деле.

As well as a single CD remaster (in a gatefold sleeve with an eight-page booklet) there is a deluxe 2CD version of Led Zeppelin II that has a second disc of previously unreleased studio outtakes. The Led Zeppelin II companion audio gives fans the first peek into the band’s recording sessions, with alternate mixes of five songs from the album, backing tracks to Thank You and Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman), and the previously unreleased track La La. The deluxe sets feature original artwork, plus a newly created negative artwork for the companion audio. The box set contains everything, including the book and hi-res downloads.

The first album come as a single vinyl remaster and a deluxe triple vinyl edition which includes the original album remastered, plus two further records of companion audio on 180g vinyl in a tri-fold sleeve. The extra audio on the ‘companion disc’ is eight tracks from Led Zeppelin Live at the Olympia, a previously unreleased October 1969 concert from Paris, France.​ This content is repeated on the 2CD edition. The Super Deluxe Edition box set contains both CDs and all three vinyl records, plus book, digital downloads and more.
