IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR, THE FINAL ZEP ALBUM BEFORE BONZO'S UNTIMELY DEATH AND THE FOLLOWING BREAK UP OF THE BAND. SOLD MASSIVELY ON RELEASE WITH THE BAND NOT TOURING IN THE UK AND USA FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS AND BEING SELF IMPOSED TAX EXILES. NEVERTHELESS THE ALBUM IS A GREAT RECORDING AND CERTAINLY A CLASSIC.
RELEASED IN SIX DIFFERENT SLEEVES (A - F) WHICH SHOW A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM EACH OF THE CHARACTERS SHOWN IN A SEPIA TONED SCENE. THE SLEEVES WERE THEN INSIDE A FURTHER OUTER SLEEVE MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF BROWN WRAPPING PAPER, SO THE BUYER WOULD NOT KNOW WHICH OF THE SIX VERSIONS OF THE SLEEVE WAS INSIDE UNTIL AFTER PURCHASE. ALSO DESIGNERS HIPGNOSIS HAD INCLUDED 'MAGIC PAINTING' TO THE WHITE INNER SLEEVES, SO WHEN THE INNERS CAME INTO ANY CONTACT WITH WATER, DAMPNESS OR CONDENSATION THE MONOCHROME ARTWORK WOULD BECOME COLOURED. VERY HARD TO FIND AS 'WHITE ORIGINALS.
