Def Leppard details ‘Hysteria 30th Anniversary’ sets

Def Leppard has announced the 30th anniversary remastered edition of Hysteria. The 1987 album will be available as a single CD “Vanilla” version, 3 CD Deluxe Edition, 2 LP black vinyl set, 2 LP “Direct to Consumer” Limited Edition Colored Vinyl set and a massive 5 CD/2 DVD Super Deluxe Edition on August 4th via Universal Music Enterprises (UMe).

The Deluxe Edition includes rare tracks such as B-sides, radio edits, extended versions, alternate mixes and a BBC Radio “Classic Albums” documentary on Hysteria, according to Rolling Stone.

The Super Deluxe Edition also includes two additional CDs containing the audio of the group’s 1989 concert film Live: In The Round, In Your Face that was recorded during the U.S. Hysteria tour, two DVDs featuring promotional videos, live performance clips and a Classic Albums documentary, along with two books — Story Of and a Ross Halfin photo book — a vintage tour program and poster.

Hysteria is the group’s fourth album and best selling to date. It has sold over 30 million copies worldwide since its release in 1987. It has spawned seven hit singles — “Women,” “Rocket,” “Animal,” “Love Bites,” “Armageddon It,” “Hysteria” and the massive “Pour Some Sugar On Me” — but was a drastic change from their heavy metal days with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange’s production aspect going more pop. The August 4th release date is one day past the album’s original release date of August 3, 1987.
