Def Leppard's third studio album, 1983's commercial breakthrough Pyromania, is returning from Bludgeon Riffola/UMe (U.S.)/UMR (U.K.) on April 26 in a variety of formats including a 4CD/1Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition, 2LP and 2CD expanded remasters, and a 1LP half-speed master of the original album.

Produced by Mutt Lange, Pyromania broadened the British band's metal sound by embracing a radio-friendly sheen and big, anthemic choruses.  Guitarist Pete Willis had already completed recording rhythm tracks when he was let go by the band before sessions concluded; new recruit Phil Collen was brought in as co-lead guitarist to join lead singer Joe Elliott, guitarist Steve Clark, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Rick Allen.  With MTV getting behind the band, three singles shot into the U.S. top 40: "Photograph" (No. 13), "Rock of Ages" (No. 16), and "Foolin'" (No. 28).  Additionally, "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages" both topped the Billboard Rock Tracks chart; "Foolin'" and "Too Late for Love" hit the top ten.  In the U.K., "Rock of Ages" just missed the top 40 of the Singles Chart at No. 41, while "Photograph" and "Too Late for Love" also charted.  In the U.S., Pyromania has since been certified 10x Platinum, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.  (It reached the top 20 of the U.K. Albums Chart.)

The Super Deluxe Edition's four CDs comprise the remastered original album, an entire disc of demos and rough mixes discovered during the COVID lockdown by Joe Elliott, the previously unreleased song demo "No You Can't Do That," and live shows from Dortmund, Germany and Los Angeles.  The Blu-ray Disc contains a new stereo mix of the original album, new 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes (the latter overseen by Giles Martin), an instrumental mix, and five music videos.  Remastering is by Ronan McHugh and Andy Pearce under the supervision of executive producer Joe Elliott.

The 2CD "highlights" versions adds 15 bonus tracks including "No You Can't Do That," rough mixes, and live tracks from LA's Forum; the 2LP set has 11 bonuses, dropping the Forum tracks.  While the 2LP set will be pressed on standard black vinyl for general retail, Def Leppard's webstore offers a blue and yellow color variant.  The half-speed mastered LP is also pressed on black vinyl.  The Super Deluxe Edition includes a book with new liner notes by writer Paul Elliott (no relation to Joe) and rare and previously unpublished photos by Ross Halfin.

All formats of Pyromania are due on April 26.  You'll find the pre-order links and track listings below.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
