Top Zep

'Physical Graffiti' is the first double LP that I bought with my own pennies. At Carrefour. There are 40+ years. It is therefore also double LP that I listened to the most in my life. Not sure that 'London Calling' has caught the.

'Physical Graffiti' is an album that I bought four times. First the French original so then due to wear of the original, pressed his replacement in West Germany, then scattered puzzle version of how the two sets of CD "remasters" of the early 1990s and Finally, this version 3 remastered CD in 2015, "vinyl replica" respect as possible the original packaging, and adding a photography book.

Regarding the sound of this record, I frankly do not see any significant improvement since the previous remastering the securities concerned, except perhaps greater clarity of the introduction of 'In The Light'?

My Top 5 today, 'Night Flight' (I could hear Bonzo himself for that title), 'Kashmir', 'Boogie With Stu', 'Down By The Seaside' which reminds me a bit of the Stones Jamaican ' Goats Head Soup '(and summer) and' In my Time Of Dying '.

The CD "bonus", which along more than 40 minutes, does not contain unknown song. The proposed versions are very close to final versions, although these recordings date from 1971 to 1974. 'Brandy & Coke is more "rough" and actually perhaps a more funky hair that' Trampled Under Foot final. 'Everybody Makes It Through the most deviation from the' In The Light 'reference. We are always very happy to listen again 'Boogie With Stu' and 'Kashmir'. We had dreamed other "jams" the type of 'Boogie "but ...

The booklet offers many photographs, asked, "live" contact sheets, B & W or color of the era of the album. He also gives credit records and photographs.

A neat work for a vital record.
