It’s Not Unusual is the fourth album by Dread Zeppelin, released in 1992. This landmark album notes a major change (but temporary) into disco covers and the departure of lead signer Tortelvis, replaced by Gary B.I.B.B. (known as "Butt Boy, the Porn Bass player" on previous albums).
The album received a cold welcome by fans due to the major shift into a “disco album in a reggae style” (from the previous “Led Zeppelin in a reggae style”).The group kept their well known humorous attitude, and many fans jumped in. Tortelvis was back for the next album with the original sound, so this album is very unusual (all Dread Zeppelin album titles are humorous) and it has a special place in the history of this group.(See 1992 in music)
