Let's Get Rocked: More Def Leppard Studio Albums and Rarities Collected on "Def Leppard: Volume 2" Box Set

May 15, 2019 By Sam Stone Leave a Comment

PRE-ORDER CD BOX SET FROM AMAZON.COM

On June 21, UMC will continue their celebration of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Def Leppard with Def Leppard: Volume 2, a new limited-edition set that includes their studio albums Adrenalize (1992), Slang (1996), and Euphoria (1999), as well as the 1993 compilation Retro Active and three volumes of rarities recently compiled by Joe Elliott. The rarities sets collect hard-to-find B-sides and live recordings and feature newly commissioned artwork.

Def Leppard: Volume 2 will be available as a 10LP, 180-gram box set, as well as a limited-edition 7CD collection. All the music has been remastered by Ronan McHugh at Joe's Garage and the vinyl was cut by Greg Moore. The albums boast replicas of their original packaging and are housed in a rigid box alongside a 40-page hardbound book that includes rare photographs by Ross Halfin, liner notes by Paul Elliott, and recollections from the band.

UMe notes that there are two more Def Leppard box sets on the way. Altogether, the four volumes will collect the band's entire official output. Def Leppard: Volume 2 arrives on June 21. You can secure your copy with the links below, and check out the full track listing, too!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
