cheesehead1204 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If you've ever owned an In Through The Out Door vinyl, which cover did you have? If you've owned multiple, which cover did you have first? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Fills the Air Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's a difficult one for me to answer. Sadly I don't have the original vinyl. I have the minature replica LP box set which comes with all the covers, so I guess my answer would have to be I've got them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeC Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I continue to be baffled by this. My vinyl edition most resembles #3, but the Dear John note hasn't caught fire and the background model is looking ahead rather than off to her left. I can only guess that Hipgnosis took many more shots than just the six usually depicted, and some found their way to the printers'. I've also seen a version of cover #6 where the blonde girl is looking over at the bar rather than off to her right. Maybe my copy is like Willie Wonka's chocolate bar, and it's really an exclusive invitation to visit Led Zeppelin at their magical factory. Too bad I bought it in 1985.

badgeholder Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 # 4 for me. And yes, I've put water to the inner sleeve, but I don't think I ever finished the 'painting' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Love That I Found Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I've managed to collect all six variations (A-F) and have them all framed. I especially like views #3 and #6. It is not only my favorite Zep album but also my favorite packaging design/cover(s). Physical Graffiti is right up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew about the damp cloth thing, how fun! I'll be back with my records in a month so I'll do it then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Love That I Found Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Amazingly, there's actually TWELVE variations of the six main images. For example, if you look at #3 above, you'll see that he has just lit the letter with his lighter. However, on one of the cover variations, this same general image is shown but he has yet to light the letter! In other words, each of the six images are photographed TWICE, moments apart. Pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
