On This Day 15 November

A day of rest across the years.  Or, if not rest, then at least out of the spotlight.
1978 15 November On This Day Jimmy Page producing In Through The Out Door at Polar Studios
Ozone Baby (audio)

  • 1966 The Yardbirds- Bowling Green, KY at University of Kentucky 
  • 1978 Jimmy Page at Polar Studios to produce In Through The Out Door 

1978:
Ozone Baby, Darlene, and Wearing and Tearing were recorded during the Polar Studio sessions. The tracks were not included on In Through The Out Door but appeared on 1982's Coda.

1979:
Led Zeppelin's eighth studio album was originally titled Look.  It was released as In Through The Out Door with album artwork designed by Hipgnosis. Both music and artwork reflect who Led Zeppelin really was at the time. Never, ever, predictable. Never, ever going to explain. 

Then and now: If you don't get it, you won't get it.
