COVER VARIANT is D. The original ‘In Through The Out Door’ album included an inner sleeve, which featured black & white line artwork, which would become permanently fully coloured, if washed with water.

The photos represent the view of each person situated in the bar.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.
