Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PA - Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released as a double album on 24 February 1975 by the group's new record label, Swan Song Records.
The album was originally released with a die-cut sleeve design depicting a New York City tenement block. The album designer, Peter Corriston, was looking for a building that was symmetrical with interesting details. The two five-storey buildings photographed for the album cover are located at 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in New York City. The original photograph underwent a number of tweaks to arrive at the final image. The fifth floor of the building had to be cropped out to fit the square album cover format.
The band wrote and recorded eight new songs for the album in early 1974 at Headley Grange, a country house in Hampshire, which gave them ample time to improvise arrangements and experiment with recording. The total playing time covered three sides of an LP, so they decided to expand it into a double by including previously unreleased tracks from the sessions for the earlier albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy. The album covered a range of styles including hard rock, progressive rock, rock 'n' roll and folk. The album was then mixed over summer 1974 and planned for an end-of year release. It was delayed because of the sleeve, which was designed by Peter Corriston and featured a theme around a tenement block in Manhattan, New York.
Other than the jam Boogie With Stu, which features former Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart, the band provided all instrumentation and vocals themselves, being Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The album was produced by Jimmy Page, with the help of a number of different engineers and mixers.
Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful upon its release and debuted at number one on album charts in both the US and the UK. I

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PP - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Some nice extreme piercings and tats.
An old shot, sadly the noise abatement society have led to the demise of CBGB's at 315 Bowery. I dont know who should be more ashamed. The club originally opened by Billy Kristal closed in October 2006. The final concert was performed quite appropriately by Patti Smith on 15/10/2006.
A lot of my favourite bands cut their teeth there and I remember having early cassette tape bootlegs from CBGB's. My faves were the Ramones, Tom Verlaine &
Television, Patti Smith Group, The Dead Boys (I came across Sonic Reducer on 12' last week- which prompted me to dig this out), Richard Hell &
The Voidoids, The Cramps, Blondie and those darlings Talking Heads.
