Def Leppard's Slang Deluxe Edition album was released one year ago today in the UK and world-wide.
The 30 track 2CD version was released on this day with an expanded digital version released a day later.
8 iTunes only bonus tracks included unreleased demo versions of 'Truth?', 'Work It Out' (Vivian on vocals) and a very different sounding 'All I Want Is Everything'. A version of 'Move With Me Slowly' with Phil on vocals and four of the B Sides from the Slang singles.
A Slang Video Collection was also released featuring the 'Slang' and 'All I Want Is Everything' promo videos. The 'Work It Out' clip is the Top Of The Pops performance edit version rather than the promo video.
This release came exactly 18 years after the band completed recording the original 'Slang' album at Bow Lane Studios in Dublin, Ireland.
