VIDEO: Def Leppard preview Hysteria 30th anniversary reissues



Def Leppard are sharing a video preview of the upcoming 30th anniversary reissues of their 1987 album, “Hysteria.”

Due August 4, the UK band will deliver a remastered edition in various packages, including a 7-disc Super Deluxe Edition, 3CD Deluxe Version, 1CD Vanilla Version, 2-LP Black Vinyl Version and a limited edition 2-LP Colored Vinyl Version.

The reissues include B-sides and live tracks, plus the audio for “In The Round In Your Face (Live)” on CD for the first time.

Among the new versions, the Super Deluxe Edition features 5-CD/2-DVDs including four books—Story Of; a Ross Halfin photo book; Discography; Hysteria Tour Program and Tour Poster.

A track list for the Super Deluxe Edition can be found below.

“It’s hard to believe that it’s been thirty years since the release of Hysteria,” says frontman Joe Elliott. “In some respects it really does seem like only yesterday. So, to mark this milestone, we wanted to do something very special for our fans and give them the definitive version of the album, one that incorporates all of the memories and milestones that we caught on tape and some of the madness that we got up to on the road. We hope it means as much to you as it does to us.”

“I look back at the whole Hysteria experience with excitement along with fond and tragic memories,” adds guitarist Phil Collen. “It was our commercial zenith thanks to Mutt Lange’s insistence that we create an artistic hybrid between hard rock and pop top 40 music using every genre available as an inspiration. It was a rock album that would garner seven hit singles. Mission accomplished.”

Def Leppard’s fourth album, “Hysteria” built on the group’s rising popularity from the success of 1983’s “Pyromania.” Introduced by the lead single, “Animal”, the project exploded with six more hits, including US Top 5 tracks “Pour Some Sugar On Me”, “Hysteria” and “Armageddon It”, and the US No. 1 “Love Bites.”

Produced by Mutt Lange, “Hysteria” reached No. 1 in the band’s native UK and the US, where it went on to achieve Diamond status for sales of more than 10 million while selling more than 25 million worldwide.

Def Leppard are currently playing dates across North America with Poison and Tesla; the three-month run will wrap up in Indianapolis, IN on June 25.
