Bundesverband Musikindustrie. Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful upon its release and debuted at number one on album charts in the UK and number three in the US. [2] It was promoted by a successful US tour and a five-night residency at Earl's Court, London. The album has been reissued on CD several times, including an expansive 40th anniversary edition in 2015. Physical Graffiti was later certified 16× platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2006, signifying shipments of over eight million copies.

Selected record shops offered this together with a Physical Graffiti slip mat and a brown paper bag with the LP artwork printed on front.Unfortunately, this remaster suffers from having a muffled and rolled-off high end, worse on some songs than others, but the worst part is that it's a little too trebly for my taste. I swear - I've been listening to this pressing while going about my day and going up and down the stairs a few times. I would crank the volume knob a little lower every time I went downstairs, and every next time I returned to my stereo it seemed as if it's playing at the same volume as I had it set to earlier. Yes, even at lower levels, the treble is edgy and shrill, and it's a little too hard on the ears. The Classic Records release by Grundman are easily superior for some albums and closer with others, they are never worse than the 2014 reissues however. Hadusek, Jon (20 February 2015).

I myself was expecting this to be a great sounding issue but after listening I felt like it was missing something and still prefererad my older 70s issue. I thought it had a lot of detail with a clean press but for some reason sounded very flat and sterile. If you are looking for the best sounding new versions of these albums I hear that the Classic Records releases are a good choice. They are very expensive but are made by people who really care and do great mastering for vinyl. I myself am getting one and doing a blind test to see which I think sounds best between the 70s issue, 2014 remaster and 2007 Classic Records version. In the end its a good record and if you dont mind that much its just a great deal, but personally I would go for many 70s reissues that are in NM condition over this.Christgau, Robert (12 May 1975).
