Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band
Led Zeppelin, released as a double album on 24 February 1975. The band wrote and recorded eight new songs for the album at
Headley Grange. These eight songs stretched the total time of the record beyond the typical length of a single
LP, so the band decided to make
Physical Graffiti a double album by including unreleased tracks from earlier recording sessions: one
outtake from
Led Zeppelin III, three from
Led Zeppelin IV, and three from
Houses of the Holy, including the unused
title track.
