The new edition will be available this spring
Def Leppard will reissue Pyromania for its 40th anniversary in an expanded 4 CD deluxe package with a Blu-ray on April 26th via UMe. The package contains unheard demos, rough mixes, and live shows from the era from Germany and Los Angeles.
Originally released in 1983, the album sold more than ten million copies and earned the classic rockers a prestigious diamond award early in their historical careers. Pyromania launched the band into rock legend status, featuring the global hit singles “Photograph” “Rock Rock (Till You Drop),” and “Rock of Ages.”
In tribute to this milestone, the deluxe edition has been executive produced by lead singer Joe Elliott and Ronan McHugh with mastering by Andy Pearce.
Included in the package is a Blu-ray containing a Dolby Atmos, 5.1, and new stereo mixes of the album, overseen by Giles Martin, along with music videos. Rounding out the collection is a book with rare photos by Ross Haflin and new interviews with the band.
The set will also be released as a 2 CD and limited edition expanded 2 LP color vinyl with highlights of unheard demos and live shows. A signed alternative album cover sheet will also be included in the vinyl.
