First released as a double vinyl album in February 1975, Physical Graffiti went on to 16x Platinum, selling over eight million copies in the USA alone. Many consider Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin’s finest hour.
With an awesome reputation live, it was decided that it was time for the essential live double album. So, during their European concert tour to support the latest release, Heavy Horses (1978), all of their concerts were recorded, and the best bits, in Ian Anderson’s opinion, put together for this release.
For those of you wanting to hear some genuine ‘Blues’ music recorded in a modern studio with all the sound quality that this gives, this is the album for you. It was unanimously voted Blues Album of the Year by the Grammies in 1992. This album just reeks of class.
“Flash” had a vibrancy and optimism that transcended all the stereotypes of seventies rock music. They really loved their music and it always showed. They were Flash – their life was short but burned bright. They came and went in a Flash.
Although Alex’s career did not really catch fire until late, when it finally did, it sure burned bright. If “The Sensational Alex Harvey Band” is a mystery to you, pay attention. Alex Harvey was one of the greatest ringmasters to have ever strode across the field of Rock’ n’ Roll.
Argus was voted album of the year by very influential British Music Paper Sounds. Sold-out world tours followed, creating a huge fan base. An album that should be in every record collection.
