NealKenneth Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 When Led Zeppelin entered the studio in early 1974, they didn't plan to record a double album. It wasn't until later, when they realized that they had more than forty minutes of new material, that they dived backed into the vaults to assemble the sprawling epic that is Physical Graffiti. But what if they had decided to release a normal, single-LP album instead? Using only the songs recorded in 1974, I crafted the album I believe Led Zeppelin would have released if they hadn't decided to expand. The trick was getting the track order to feel "right" while keeping each side short enough to print on vinyl. This is what I think it would have sounded like: https://play.spotify.com/user/123343771/playlist/2P35LPYYQLm80LALphMvYy Listen and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Gotta admit. That I am a little bit confused by your Title of the thread. Anyway I like the order that you put the tracks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcondo123 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Gotta admit. That I am a little bit confused by your Title of the thread. Anyway I like the order that you put the tracks in. Literally the first time I read your italicized "gotta admit, that I'm a little bit confused," Floyd's song "Dogs" popped into my head I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of thismaze?

Walter Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ^ I believe that was the reason for the italicized lettering he did.

It's not quite the same as the angle I took, but it is interesting nonetheless. On the other hand, I'm pretty annoyed that my thread got bumped into the newbie forum and a bit puzzled by it. I agree that this might be a better way for a new listener to approach the album, but I was hoping to dig deep and discuss the album with veteran listeners.
