DEF LEPPARD Rocking With Reissues

David J. Prince of Billboard.com reports: DEF LEPPARD is set to release deluxe editions of two of its classic records — 1983's "Pyromania" and 1992's "Adrenalize" — on June 23. Both double-disc sets will come on Bludgeon Riffola/Island/UMe and feature previously unreleased material including b-sides, demo versions and live recordings.

"'Adrenalize' was Number One the week of the L.A. riots," LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen remembers in an exclusive interview with Billboard.com. "I know it was the Nineties, but it really was the end of the Eighties. You had this whole new genre — NIRVANA and the grunge thing — which I loved when it really shook everything up. But we got lumped into the Eighties hair metal bands."

Both deluxe editions will feature deluxe digipack 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" Lange, the album sold over 10 million copies in the USA alone and spawned the huge singles "Photograph", "Rock Of Ages" and "Foolin'".

The album featured huge singles such as "Let's Get Rocked" and "Make Love Like A Man" and debuted at No. 1 in both the U.K. and USA (and went on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide). The album was produced by DEF LEPPARD and Mike Shipley with Robert "Mutt" Lange as executive producer.
