Def Leppard announces limited edition ‘Vol 2’ box set

Def Leppard – Volume Two will be available June 21st via UMe/Virgin

On June 21st, legendary British rock ‘n’ roll icons and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Def Leppard will release Def Leppard – Volume Two, a new limited edition box set on UMe/Virgin.

This is the second of four volumes of the complete recorded output of Def Leppard available as both a 10 LP, 180-gram vinyl box and a limited edition 7 CD set featuring all the recordings from the band in the 1990’s with their original packaging. The albums were remastered by Ronan McHugh at Joe’s Garage and cut by Greg Moore.

Def Leppard – Volume Two features 1992’s Adrenalize, which topped the charts in 23 countries, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the UK chart, and features songs such as “Let’s Get Rocked,” “Make Love Like A Man,” and “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad,” 1993’s Top 10 release Retro Active, the band’s first compilation featuring B-sides and previously unreleased recording sessions from 1984 to 1993, Def Leppard’s sixth studio album Slang, released in 1996 and the first full album to feature guitarist Vivian Campbell, and, making its vinyl debut, 1999’s Euphoria, which also went Top 10 on the US and UK charts and marked the band’s return to their signature sound and features the hit “Promises.”

Also included are Rarities Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, both specially compiled by Joe Elliott containing more rare B-sides and live recordings from the 90’s, complete with newly commissioned artwork.

Housed in rigid boxes, Def Leppard – Volume Two also contains a 40-page hardbound book packed with rare photos by Ross Halfin and introductions written by the entire band.

Def Leppard was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside The Cure, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music and The Zombies, closing out the ceremony with an explosive performance in Brooklyn, NY at Barclays Center. All this caps their historic 2018 co-headline stadium and arena run in North America where the band sold a staggering one million tickets and the tour grossed over one hundred million dollars, a massive feat in today’s touring world.

This summer, Def Leppard will be taking over the Las Vegas Strip with their exclusive headlining residency show, as well as touring Europe and Canada. As always, the group keep pushing forward with their electrifying live shows that have transcended the test of time.
