LED ZEPPELIN - Classic Albums Newly Certified
|
|
LED ZEPPELIN's classic "Physical Graffiti" and "Led Zeppelin IV" albums
both reached new sales plateaus as of January 30, 2006, according to the
RIAA (Recording Industry Asociation of America). "Physical Graffiti" (which
originally came out on March 3, 1975) has been officially certified 16 times
platinum (for more than 16 million copies sold), while "Led Zeppelin IV"
(which was issued on November 8, 1971) has been certified for sales in excess
of 23 million copies in the United States.
As previously reported, Jimmy Page recently autographed a limited-edition
run of "Led Zeppelin IV" artwork that's now on sale. The print, which features
the front and back cover of the album, measures 39 inches by 24 inches,
and it's printed on heavy stock. Page signed and numbered the run of 250
prints, and they're available through the Led-Zeppelin.com web site. As
you might imagine, such a rarity doesn't come cheap — the picture sells
for $1,500 plus shipping.
