If you’re a Zep fan, you know what this is.
The coolest album cover ever…..it has die-cut windows that reveal images on the sleeve. You can switch out the sleeve for different views. Very Clever.
I live with a Zep fan. The two biggest LZ fans I know are my husband and my brother-in-law. (Shown below – Kevin and Graham) Graham’s sister Jenny and her family are visiting from England so last weekend we went into NYC to track down the Physical Graffiti building located at 96 and 98 St. Mark’s Place in the West Village. How cool is that? The two fans in front of the building on the album cover they have loved for years.
When I was reading up on the trivia behind this album cover I learned that the 4th floor was edited out so the two buildings would fit the square format.
Don’t you miss 12" covers? We have at least a dozen framed and hanging in our basement known as the pub. C’mon, I’m married to an Englishman – yes we have a pub!
When I released my first sheet of rubber in the HomeWard Collection, I had this cover in mind. A selection of windows and doors that could be used to build your own brownstone – AND I included an alphabet to fit in the windows. And of course, it’s called Physical Graffiti.
