Were any of the other Fleetwood Mac albums between 1967 and 1975 also gatefolds?

i read somewhere "sgt. pepper" having been the first foldout in pop music that hasn't been a double - don't know about other musical genres. although i know about foldout ALBUMS for multiple 78 shellacks in the 40s, but that's a different story.
the first mac album in a gatefold sleeve was definitely "mr. wonderful" followed by "then play on" and "kiln house". i'm not very much in the know about later on.
