After a couple of strong albums, they were poised for crossover success by the time of 1983's Pyromania, and skilfully used the fledgling MTV network to their advantage. Excellent new release from Def Leppard, but when you have already released one of 'the' studio albums of all time (Hysteria) - how can you better it?

High ‘N’ Dry’, is the first of Def Leppard’s albums to be produced by Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange and was released in 1981. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Its hard to sum up this album but my favorite memories of this was when I would listen to this album on the way to vacation in Wild Wood NJ which was an obscure amusement ride mecca.

Produced by Tom Allom (Judas Priest, Black Sabbath), it featured many of the band’s live favorites and some updated versions of early singles.

Emerging in the late '70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody.The album's goal, set out by producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, was to be a hard rock version of Michael Jackson's Thriller, in that every track was a potential hit single. S. Billboard Hot 100 number one "Love Bites", alongside "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Hysteria", "Armageddon It", "Animal", "Rocket", and "Women".

Tokyo's prestigious Kokusai Forum was the venue for the show, which was recorded for live FM Broadcast across Japan, and it features plenty of the tunes from their seventh album, Euphoria, released on 8 June 1999. Seriously, considering it’s length, it still retains Hysteria’s iconic sonic punch whilst bathing in theatrical nirvana.

On Through The Night’, the band’s debut album, was released in 1980 and immediately put the rock world on notice.

They have the classic Pyromania style heavy metal Dangerous, All Time High, the pop pop orientated Let's Go, Sea of Love and even a more funk based song, Man Enough.Band members Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen and Phil Collen have also contributed introductions to the set. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, this bold new approach to the orchestral hits formula sees new vocal and guitar recordings from the band.
