This record is about 50 years old. Both main participants have passed since. How would you call this delicious mélange? Is it flamrock? Or is it rockengo?
Listen to track A1 - Inca Song!

The non-S&G tracks are great on this one. Especially Dave Grusin's "A great effect" B2. I couldn't find out, who played this fat sax and the drum solo. What wonderful jazz tune. Great effect...

but took a gamble on these 2 for 50 cents total. The Odeon was a Paris copy.

Definitely not LZ's greatest work. John Paul Jones obviously enjoyed his new toy too much, the Yamaha GX-1 300 pounds monster synthesizer, which doesn't exactly fit to LZ's music. But what else should he do while Jimmy Page was heavily on the needle in those times and he was responsible for the recording sessions almost alone?
But there's a real gem: Listen to Fool In The Rain, which clearly shows why John Bonham can be called the best rock drummer of all times, even when on booze!

A very interesting concept from the master sleeve designers, Hipgnosis. The sleeve "proper" features a man in a bar burning a "Dear John" letter, watched by a bemused barman and a couple of ladies in the bar, whilst the piano player bashes out a tune of some sort. The scenario has been photographed from 6 different viewpoints within the bar and the 6 different sleeve variations have been created (with the letters A-F at the top of the spine denoting each variation).
To diguise the buyers which sleeve variation they were purchasing, an outer brown bag was added - creating a sense of mystery when the sleeve design was revealed.
The (no doubt expensive) concept was further enhanced by the inclusion of an inner sleeve that featured "magic ink". Gently wet the inner sleeve and different colours would appear on the design: the Dollar bill, the cigar in the ashtray and b/w the burnt "Dear John" letter and the broken glass.
The goal for all Zeppelin collectors is to collect pristine copies of all 6 versions, complete with outer brown bags and with uncoloured inner sleeves.
"Dear John" Paul, the keyboard parts you played are too cheesy to accept! Important for this (mishandled by "Dear John") album: the vocals of Robert Plant are the best he ever did with Led Zeppelin (also on Presence LP) - a matured distinctive voice with a range of lower level as usual. That means: less ambulance horn screamings! But these crappy keyboards! Let's burn the letter, "Dear John". You have broken the glass. Actually this album was the swan song (Schwanengesang) of LZ...

Yes, I have only that copy of In Through The Out Door that has been sitting on my more nearly 50 years old WEGA console in the pic. Definitely, the music isn't that interesting that I could have feel being motivated to search for every variant and spend tons of money.
To be honest, this - pristine - copy has been part of a record collection that I've bought by chance about three years ago, together with HOTH with the blurb (and many others...) that I've been showing yet. As LZ definitely had their creative summit behind them, I wasn't too keen to buy it when it was published in 1978.
Listen to All My Love. It's about the tragic death of Robert Plant's young son Carac in 1975, but it appears to be constructed just for maximum WAF. Even a modulation doesn't miss, same as in German schlagers. Unbearable, imho. Even Jimmy Page has stated in more recent years: »This wasn't us.«
Best regards!
While listening to "The longest summer" B1, i remember the last summer. It was very warm and lasted extraordinary long here in middle Europe. They say it's because of global warming...

Sometimes i think, the flute on "When a man loves a woman" B1 is also played by that cheesy keyboard, and not by Jeremy Steig, as noted on back cover credits note. You can play everything by synthesizer. Nearly everything...

He's not the only one in that boat.
Clapton did the cheesy "Tears in Heaven" after his son fell out of a 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment.
