Women US Seven Inch
Def Leppard released their 'Women' single 25 years ago on this day in 1987 in the USA and Canada.
The single was the first to be released from the 'Hysteria' album in North America following 'Animal' which had been released elsewhere in July.
The single was released on 11th August 1987 and reached number 80 in the Billboard Top 100 chart. It would be the first of seven singles released from the album in the USA and Canada. The next six would all reach the Top 20.
Women Single Release - Joe Elliott 1989 Quote
"We never expected 'Women' to be a big hit, we put it out because it was the heaviest thing on the album and we wanted the hardcore fans to be the first to know we were back. Otherwise you end up with a 95 per cent female audience who aren't going to be there next year."
