I respect Def after this era but this was their coolest stuff.

All in all, it’s a fantastic box set at a great value that is twice as cool for those that do not own the first two albums.

You can still see all customer reviews for the product. Joe did a fine job curating this collection.

I also loved the stories in the book.

It becomes “Rock, Rock (til you Drop)” in 1983 on the ‘Pyromania’ album. Medicine man sound musically like Rock Rock till you drop. It gave me chills then and still does to this day. Review: If you were to add Pyromania to this box set, it would be the perfect box set of what I call Def Leppard Mach 1. This box is a must for any fan that loved early Def Leppard, especially for disc 3 (live disc), it smokes all the way through. Great early NWOBHM.

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020, a number of songs were repeated on the same CD and all the CDs had almost the same songs on them very disapointing collection i would not recomend this buy single CDs instead, Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2020. The live performances, expecially those recorded at The New Theater Oxford, sound surprisingly tight and polished for such a young band. 5 discs and a hardback book all for $61.

In 1977 Leppard was a band forged in molten NWOBHM. Discs 4 (B-Sides and Rarities) and 5 (Early BBC Recordings) are a mixed bag of rarities, demos, alternate tracks and live tracks all obviously from 1979 through 1981. They are gong back to their humble beginnings of 1978 and up through 1981 and the album ‘High & Dry”. First off, I must say I am not a huge fan of this band. To be honest, I am not even sure if they ever played Toronto in support of Pyromania.

And thanks. Long overdue for an expanded rerelease, with fans making do with a series of no-frills CD copies, On Through the Night is presented with a glossy luster that helps elevate each drum hit and guitar lick, cadences of Elliott’s vocals piercing through each number.

( Log Out /  The box it comes in looks like a box to hold a collection of 45’s and the front and back covers even show the wear of records being included which is a nice touch. Ok, maybe I am just a geek. And how good is that Medicine Man/Let It Go riff. To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life: by Hervé Guibert, Damnation: Poppy’s Inferno: by Moriah Rose Pereira and Ryan Cady, Wolves Evolve: The Ulver Story: Edited by Tore Engelsen Espedal. In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country Turns 20, Interview: Joseph D’Agostino of Empty Country, Tom Petty: Wildflowers & All the Rest (Deluxe Edition), Resequence: Chance the Rapper: The Big Day, Resequence: The National: I Am Easy to Find, Rediscover: John Frusciante: The Will to Death, Revisit: The Who: Quadrophenia: Live in London, Holy Hell! Overall it's a great package. It’s often raw but always real. Of course, these do sound a little better here than on my bootleg, but I don’t care, I will listen to the bootleg again and again anyway. Disc four flaunts a 14-track stack of B-sides and rarities, adding yet another layer of strength to this release as a valuable archival document for long-term acolytes, with Thin Lizzy and Marillion producer Nick Tauber applying his expertise to fan favorite “Rock Brigade” alongside “Glad I’m Alive.” Both are distinctive enough in scope to avoid being dismissed as needless filler. On Through The Night might lack its successor’s consistency but the head banging anthems come thick and fast. Squeezing a wealth of previously unreleased material hived from BBC Radio 1 sessions as well as performances at Reading Festival and … All-in-all, it is 14 tracks of bonus material and that is always a good thing. And The Early Years 79-81 is as much a lesson in work ethic and focus as it is a celebration of balls-to-the-wall NWOBHM excess.

Again, if you add Pyromania to this, it’s my favorite timeframe of Def Leppard. I fall in to that category and I am okay with it. It does lack more existing early stuff and might have been better with a DVD or something, But I am still happy with my purchase. The setlist contains most of the first album, three songs that ended up on the sophomore album and a couple of surprises. Turns 20, Oeuvre: David Cronenberg: Crimes of the Future, From the Vaults of Streaming Hell: Santa Jaws, From the Vaults of Streaming Hell: Stalked By My Doctor: The Return, From the Vaults of Streaming Hell: Deadcon. Another track is “When the Rain Falls” as that would later turn in to the song “Let it Go” on the album ‘High ‘N Dry’ thanks to the help of Mutt Lange. I would not buy anything else from them unless it's from this time period. The CD’s themselves come in a tri-fold cardboard folder that is pretty durable and it looks like this…. Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020. And 40 years after it was slated for a single release, the former can finally be enjoyed it all of its NWOBHM glory. They seemed like seasoned vets.

I would have to endure the agonizing year after year wait until Hysteria brought them around once again.

I even overlook Sav. Some folks prefer the later more melodic and mature music. Nice packaging. TheChromeVanadium March 25, 2020 Report; edited 7 months ago. Worth it for the remasters alone!

Change ). The packaging is pretty sweet.

They know how to deliver a box set that gives you more band for your buck. It was reworked and later morphed into my favourite Leppard song of all time, “Let It Go”.

Nobody could predict just how fruitful that partnership would go on to be. Great job as always reviewing stuff for us Itunes buyers! “Wasted” is similarly dealt a sleek finish; its short, sharp shock of high-velocity rock still packing a punch despite very rarely featuring on the band’s live setlists. What really grabbed me by the balls was disc 3 in this set. Forget, for a moment, the snazzy MTV videos, the arena tours soundtracked by slick pop rock and the late 80s mass Hysteria. On its own, this could possibly rank as my favourite live album of all time. But that’s no bad thing. This set however is killer! A full live recording from 41 years ago. The inclusion of Reading Festival and Oxford New Theatre recordings further help establish a sense of the grassroots support the band enjoyed during the early ‘80s, prior to their behemothic rise as the decade would progress. I hope you can too. Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020. It’s in a word, PERFECT! Elsewhere, an early version of “The Overture,” from the band’s first EP, proves a particular standout, showcasing impressive guitar solo work courtesy of Pete Willis and the late Steve Clark. The song was “Rock of Ages” from the Pyromania album. Whilst others prefer the "angsty teen" less sophisticated stuff, their first two albums. Powerwolf #1-Sweden Rock 2019-Shawn Irwin, Fashion Sense – Union Jack Shirt and Shorts. For such a young bunch of guys, all 20 or less (and Rick Allen only being like 16 or 17), the band is tight. Joe sounds young and not as self-assured as he would later become (again thanks to Mutt). Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. Just great! The Early Years 79-81 figures as a compulsory addition to the collection of any seasoned Def Leppard follower. I like it. Simon's love affair with guitar bands began the day he saw Def Leppard performing Animal for the first time. Nope ROCKTOBER it is and the Canadian Geeks are here to celebrate all that is October. Pyro was next and that killed them for me, and never bought anything else till 'The Early Years' set was released. I wish other bands would do the same to this level.

No individual expanded booklets, which would have been nice. Def Leppard – Live At The New Theatre Oxford UK 1979! And man they were huge.

The Moon & Antarctica Turns 20, Holy Hell! Best box set I've bought in years by a country mile! Packaging is fantastic! Post was not sent - check your email addresses! I hadn't owned a copy of On Through the Night or High N Dry for many years and back when I did it was on cassette. The remasters DO sound better than the original. A handful of bands soon followed but Def Leppard were the first. And if the former is the sound of wide-eyed youths feeling their way then the latter evidences the band’s rich potential. You get a very early taste of this song here. (Pink Floyd should take notice-no worthless posters or marbles)! With this in mind, High ‘n’ Dry is resurrected with a newfound sonic sheen; the pulverizing percussion of “Another Hit and Run” brought to an entirely new level, “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak” pulsating with renewed vigour, its hook-heavy flurry of wistful harmonies anticipating the streamlined songwriting that was to come. However, the Big book that came with this is Very nice!! Overseen by Elliott and mastered by long-time wingman Ronan McHugh, this perfectly pitched project is essential listening for Leppard fans old and new. Lot's to like here.
