The long awaited album from Led Zeppelin titled In Through The Out Door came out on this day in 1979. It had been over three years since the last album from the band so it was no surprise it went to #1 and would hold onto that top spot for seven weeks.
One year after Led Zeppelin beat a lawsuit contending they stole the opening riff "Stairway to Heaven," the band seeks to have their legal costs covered.
