Artist: LED ZEPPELIN
Album: "IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR REMASTERED (CD)"

Year: 1979
Media type: CD

In Through the Out Door is the final studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, recorded in November and December of 1978 at Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and released by Swan Song Records on 15 August 1979.

The album was named by the group as such, because of their recent problems and the rise of punk music, trying to get back into the public mind is like "trying to get in through the 'Out' door, than through the 'In' door".

In contrast to previous Led Zeppelin albums, In Through The Out Door features much greater influence on the part of bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant, and less from drummer John Bonham and guitarist Jimmy Page (Bonham did not receive writing credits for any of the songs). This was a result of Bonham and Page often not showing up on time at the recording studio, and many of the songs were consequently put together by Plant and Jones during the day, with Page and Bonham adding their parts late at night.

In an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1998, Page stated that he and John Bonham:
“ both felt that In Through The Out Door was a little soft. I wasn't really keen on "All My Love". I was a little worried about the chorus. I could just imagine people doing the wave and all of that. And I thought, That's not us. That's not us. In its place it was fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to pursue that direction in the future.”

The original gramophone record of this album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag, and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with a wet brush, would become permanently fully colored. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on each side), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible for record buyers to tell which sleeve they were getting. (There is actually a code on the spine of the album jacket, which indicated which sleeve it was—this could sometimes be seen while the record was still sealed.) The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in which a man burns a Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone who appeared in the other photos. The album artwork was made by Hipgnosis.

The album went to #1 on Billboard's charts on its second week of release, and it has sold seven million copies in the US to date.

In Through The Out Door was Led Zeppelin's last album while together. Drummer John Bonham died the next year on 25 September 1980.
