5. Their album In Through the Out Door cover and sleeve are special too.

"The original album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag (reminiscent of similarly packaged bootleg album sleeves with the title rubber-stamped on it), and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with water, would become permanently fully coloured.
The album artwork was designed by Hipgnosis' Storm Thorgerson." He went to art school with the two founders of Pink Floyd (Barrett and Waters) and designed the "Dark Side of the Moon" album cover among others.

I found this out from someone on DU last year and went and got my album out tried it and discovered that it DOES turn into water colors when wet. I love stuff like that about my original albums.
