How many separate album covers did Led Zeppelin release for their final studio album "In Through the Out Door"?

The original gramophone record of this album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag, and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with a wet brush, would become permanently fully colored. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on each side), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible for record buyers to tell which sleeve they were getting. (There is actually a code on the spine of the album jacket, which indicated which sleeve it was — this could sometimes be seen while the record was still sealed.) The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in which a man burns a Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone who appeared in the other photos. The album artwork was made by Hipgnosis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Through_the_Out_Door Nov 06 07, 7:50 PM

Colored mine when I was ? years old, 2 years AFTER I saw Zeppelin Live at MSG. Being ? years old, I over wet the sleeve and caused it to unglue along the seams. Man-O-Man was I livid! (read about the trick of the sleeve in Circus Magazine) The color was quite nice! Nov 06 07, 8:16 PM
