Speaking of album covers: Did anyone own this Led Zeppelin LP?

[Gothic Sponge]

I remember when i was a kid i bought the 'In Through The Out Door' LP. The album's dust jacket, when made wet, released watercolor-like ink. Anyone remember this?

[chookie]

1. I never got mine wet

Didn't occur to me.

Oh that Jimmy Page could be obscure....

[DelawareValleyDem]

2. I do

It's the only Zep album I like, besides Physical Graffiti

[yankeeinlouisiana]

3. Yep!

Still have it, too.

[ZoCrowes]

4. I liked the multiple covers

if you fold out the CD booklet it has them all.

I want to get my hands on an original vinyl still in the brown wrapper. That would make my day

[Bossy Monkey]

8. Got it. Don't know if I'd be willing to give it up

but neither do I seem to be replacing my dead turntable in any kind of hurry, so I don't know why not. Not in mint condition or anything like that... (I really, really, really liked "Carouselambra")

[redsoxliberal]

5. All of my love

yeah, my dad has it.

[meegbear]

6. I don't understand GS

what happens to the jacket? Does the entire jacket become colorized?

I remember hearing that the cover(s) won an award but I never knew exactly why.

[Kikosexy2]

7. Yep...

love the packaging and that of "Physical Graffiti", Houses of the Holy" and "Presence" and "Led Zeppelin II" (the pin-wheel insert). Album packaging was great then. Too bad CD packaging lacks some imagination.

[ZoCrowes]

10. Hate to be the music nerd but

III had the pinwheel. II was the Brown Bomber

Probably just a typo

[Kikosexy2]

19. Yes..

you're right. Thanks.

[meegbear]

13. Someone pointed this out to me ...

switch the album titles for these two releases

Phyiscal Grafitti


Houses of the Holy

[Book Lover]

9. My copy didn't have the wet-release ink

but it came in a brown paper wrapper. I remember my sister-in-law telling me about the ink thing, and we went straight for the album, but all we did was loosen the paper fibers...

11. My Favorite Led Zeppelin Anecdote.....

In our senior level culture class at North Miami Beach Senior High School we had to bring one cultural artifact...


I bought the Led Zeppelin Physical Grafitti album and played Kshmir...


There were some African American guys in the class... They acted like it was the worst music they ever heard.....

It is a ponderous beat.....


And I like Zeppelin but hate Stairway To Heaven... It represnts everyhthing wrong with 70's rock...

[ZoCrowes]

12. If I never hear Stairway again

I will die a happy man. Every song is excellent on that album except for that POS.

Oh and Four Sticks sucks too despite Bonzos playing

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Another Song I Hate Is Smoke On The Water

Except the line "Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place in town."


Favorite Zeppelin song -Immigrant Song....

[Redleg]

15. I like a lot of Zeppelin but can't stand "Kashmir."

Uggghhh.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. It's Better Than Stairway To Heaven When You're Stoned

but not as good as Bridge Of Sighs...


Past experience...Eons ago....

[Kat45]

17. Oh, Bridge of Sighs--I hadn't thought of that in years.

That was good stoned music.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. robin trower...

20. Ha! Kashmir

When I was in college, I was once stranded in the student center for 2 and 1/2 hours and heard the campus radio station play "Kashmir" 3 times in that short period. Drove me up a fucking wall.

I got so frustrated that I ended up joining the air staff, just so there could be a regular 3 hour period where that song WOULDN'T be played, ever.
