What is the name of the album that features the song "Kashmir"?

The story behind the answer

The album that features Led Zeppelin’s song “Kashmir” is Physical Graffiti.

Released in 1975, Physical Graffiti was Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album and their first double album. “Kashmir” appears as one of its defining tracks, alongside “Trampled Under Foot,” “Ten Years Gone,” and “In My Time of Dying.”

The song’s origins stretch back to an instrumental idea developed by Jimmy Page and John Bonham in 1973. Robert Plant later wrote lyrics inspired partly by a drive through southern Morocco, even though the title refers to Kashmir. John Paul Jones contributed keyboard and orchestral arrangements, including Mellotron parts.

A common mix-up is confusing the song with Led Zeppelin IV, which contains “Stairway to Heaven,” or with Houses of the Holy, the band’s previous studio album. Physical Graffiti was unusually expansive because it combined new recordings with several older, previously unreleased songs from earlier album sessions.
