This release came exactly 18 years after the band completed recording the original 'Slang' album at Bow Lane Studios in Dublin, Ireland.

On this day in 1988 the band played a show in St. Louis, MO on the Hysteria tour. It had to be played at one end of the venue due to weight restrictions.
The band were due to play a show tonight in Bossier City, LA which was last played in November 2006.
This show and all other dates in February were postponed on 1st February as a result of Joe's severe laryngitis which he has been suffering from since 20th January.
As of 2016, Def Leppard have played 5 times on this date.
