Led Zeppelin - Out Through The In Door (1982)

I think that even the most avid Zep fan would have to admit that 'In Through The Out Door' and 'Coda' were not among the best of the band's output, but knock them together and dump the chaff and you end up with a reasonable swansong (!) to the band's career. 
'In Through The Out Door' was predominantly recorded by Jones and Plant, with Page and Bonham dropping by when their addictions allowed, and 'Coda' was mostly made up of out-takes from the latter album. Compiling them into one good album makes more sense than having two mediocre ones, so that's what Album Fixer did. I've used one of the alternative 'In Through The Out Door' sleeves for my cover, so it's still recogisable as the Zep album, but with a bit of a twist.

  1. Nice. Too bad there's not a good version of Fire floating around, just the rehearsal.
