UK 7" Single
Def Leppard released their classic single Heaven Is 20 years ago in the UK on this day in 1993.
The fourth UK single to be taken from the 'Adrenalize' album. The band performed the song on UK TV shows 'Going Live' and 'Top Of The Pops'.
It was included on the fifth studio album 'Adrenalize' and reached Number 18 on the UK Top 40 single chart.
Heaven Is - CD Single Sleeve Quote
"In your hands, you have the 4th Def track from Adrenalize: 'Heaven Is' - another view about that age old problem of perfect women. Backing this track is another from the obscure Elliott collection of songs: 'She's Too Tough'. The title speaks for itself!"
"We've thrown in 2 more live tracks: Our version of the Alice Cooper (we are not worthy) song 'Elected', recorded with Steve in Tilburg, Holland in 1987 and 'Let's Get Rocked' from our May '92 European tour - city of Bonn, Germany to be precise. The difference in the feel of the two tracks seems greater than the 5 year difference in recording, but, what the heck..."
Joe Elliott - Vault Inner Sleeve Quote
"Purely a pop song. Us sounding like the Beachboys. Hate the video."
