In Through The Out Door is Led Zeppelin’s eighth studio album, and was recorded over a three week period in November and December 1978 at ABBA’s Polar Studios in Stockholm. The album was released in August 1979, and was their last release before the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980. In contrast to previous Led Zeppelin albums, In Through The Out Door features greater influence from John Paul Jones and Robert Plant, and relatively less from John Bonham and Jimmy Page. ‘South Bound Saurez’ and ‘All My Love’ are the only two original Led Zeppelin songs that Jimmy Page had no part in writing. The diminished input by Page and Bonham is attributed to the two band members often not showing up on time at the recording studio, with Bonham struggling alcoholism and Page battling heroin addiction. 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. Following the recording sessions at Polar Studios, the album was mixed at Page's personal studio at his home in Plumpton. The album was originally to be released before the band's twin concerts at Knebworth in 1979, but production delays meant that it was released shortly after their performances instead. Despite receiving poor reviews, the album went to No1. on Billboard’s chart in its second week on the chart. This album remained on the US top spot for seven weeks and sold three million copies by the end of September 1979.
The album was named by the group to describe their recent struggles amidst the death of Robert Plant’s son Karac in, and the taxation exile the band took from the UK as a result of the Harold Wilson and James Callaghan administrations. The original 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 water, would become permanently coloured. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos. The pictures all displayed the same scene in a bar – where 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 bar is the Absinthe Bar, located at 400 Bourbon Street in New Orleans and was re-created in a London studio for the album sleeve design.

POLITE NOTICE(aka 'Grumpy Bit'!)
Royal Mail are getting increasingly more expensive to use and in 90% of cases our listed postage charges do not even cover our actual costs :(
An average single LP weighs just over 500gm when combined with an extremely tough record mailer, cardboard stiffeners and a 250g Polythene protector, Royal Mail charge us £2.61(correct as of 1-6-11) to post 2nd Class for this weight. Then add on the cost of the mailer, stiffeners and polythene sleeve, not to mention Paypals percentage fees for the postage charge and all of a sudden our actual costs are just below the £4.00 mark!
So please keep this in mind when rating us in the Detailed Seller Rating's section of the feedback :)
