Def Leppard released their classic Bringin' On The Heartbreak single on this day in 1981 in the UK.
The second single to be released from the 'High 'n' Dry' album in the UK.
The follow up to 'Let It Go' which had been released after the album in August 1981.
The song would not reach the UK Top 100 singles chart.
A remix version was released in May 1984 in the USA and reach Number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The video would receive massive airplay on MTV in the USA during the end of 1982 and help pave the way for the success of the 'Pyromania' album in 1983 despite it not being released there as a single.
