Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles from the multiplatinum Pyromania and Hysteria. It offers little meaning beyond fun fun fun, but there are hooks here that Noel Gallagher would punch a paparazzo for. Includes "Photograph," "Animal," "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Bringin' on the Heartbreak," "Love Bites," "Hysteria," "Armageddon It," "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad," and more.
This 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective boasts 16 of Def Leppard's Top 40 hits among the 35 selections spanning its 25-year album career to date. The first disc focuses on the familiar hits, but the grittier second disc showcases some of the early roots, as well as later gems like "Promises" and "No Matter What" from an upcoming covers project.
Contains 11 new songs including the highly anticipated single "Nine Lives" featuring a groundbreaking collaboration with country music superstar Tim McGraw. Other standout tracks on the album include "Go", "Love", and "Tomorrow." Written in the style of "Hysteria," with the production of "High 'n' Dry." Released in 2008.
CD deluxe edition of the UK hard rockers' classic 1987 album in a fold-out digipak housed within a clear slipcase. Disc One features the original album digitally remastered plus four tracks: 'Tear It Down', 'Ride Into The Sun' (1987 Re-recording), 'I Wanna Be Your Hero' and 'Ring Of Fire'. Disc Two is jam-packed with rarities including four tracks recorded Live in Holland, one track recorded Live in Denver, remixes of 'Animal', 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Armageddon It', 'Excitable' and 'Rocket', plus 'Release Me'.

Sounds pretty catchy, but... I still hear echoes of Armageddon It and Promises, even if Joe said it was not typical Leppard by any means... Anyway, we?ll have a better opinion when we?ll hear the whole song. Can hardly wait !!!
