Bewertung der RedaktionDef Leppard, Britain’s greatest arena rock band, are set to release deluxe editions of the classic albums “Pyromania” and “Adrenalize” on the 8th June 2009. The band also headline Dublin’s O2 Arena on Friday the 12th June and headline the UK’s Download festival on Sunday 14th June 2009. Having sold over 65 million albums worldwide since their debut release in 1980 and proved themselves one of rock music’s hardest working and consistently powerful live bands (playing to over 50 million fans in the last 15 years alone), these timely deluxe expanded editions are a must for any discerning music fan. Def Leppard remain one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US (”Pyromania” being one of them). The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen. Both Deluxe Editions will feature deluxe digi--pack gatefold packaging with expanded booklets containing rare and previously unseen photographs, comprehensive sleeve-notes telling the story behind each album and include images of rare single covers and memorabilia from the period. Liner notes come from Rolling Stone’s David Fricke. “Pyromania”, Def Leppard’s third album originally released in 1983, was the album that took the band to the global stage. Produced by Robert “Mutt” Lang, the album sold over 10 million copies in the USA alone and spawned the huge singles “Photograph”, “Rock Of Ages” and “Foolin’”. The Deluxe Edition features a re-mastered version of the original album and a bonus disc of a previously unreleased 15 track show from the LA Forum in 1983.
