DEF LEPPARD's Collection Volume 1 CD/Vinyl Box Set Tracklisting Revealed

Def Leppard 2018. Def Leppard 2018

The tracklistings for Def Leppard's upcoming box set Collection Volume 1 for CD and Vinyl have been revealed online.

The first box set in the band's ongoing reissue series will be released on 1st June 2018 according to Amazon.

The tracklistings of all discs have now been posted online after the release was first revealed by Amazon on 10th March.

As mentioned the vinyl and CD collections feature 8 vinyl discs and 7 CDs in all. The first four studio albums, The Def Leppard E.P. (7 Inch), Live At The L.A. Forum 1983 show and 'Rarities Volume One'.

'Hysteria' and 'Live At The L.A. Forum 1983' are both on double vinyl.

The Rarities disc does not contain anything that has not been released before. It does contain a few songs that have not been previously released on CD. This includes the November 1979 'Wasted' single and its B-Side 'Hello America' - both re-recorded for the first album.

They were recorded at Olympic Studios in London in September 1979 with Nick Tauber along with 'Glad I'm Alive' and 'Rock Brigade'. Those two songs were never released and sadly have not been included on this release.

'Rock Brigade' was made available on YouTube in March 2009 by the video director of some early and unreleased promo videos - watch it below.

This box set will feature a reissue of The Def Leppard E.P. on 7" vinyl for the first time since the 1989 Fan Club edition. Having been released on 12" last year and now on streaming/download sites. It is also being released on CD for the first time as part of the CD collection.

Joe talked about this first box set during a recent interview with Hot Press magazine.

Def Leppard CD/Vinyl Collections - News Quotes

Vinyl Collection Volume 1 (and CD Collection Volume 1) contains the band’s eighties output: their first four albums, Live at the LA Forum 1983 and a disc of rarities.

Additionally, the vinyl set will include a recreation of the band’s first EP The Def Leppard EP which contains three songs recorded in 1978. This was issued in January 1979, 15 months before debut album On Through The Night was released.

The CD box includes the same content on a three-inch CD single.

The audio was re-mastered by Ronan McHugh and Joe Elliott at Joe’s Garage, and the vinyl LPs were cut by Greg Moore.

Both vinyl and CD sets feature a hardcover book with photos by Ross Halfin and notes by Paul Elliott.
