O Def Leppard irá lançar um novo box, intitulado The Early Years 79-81, no dia 20 de março via UMC/Virgin.
O box traz os dois primeiros álbuns da banda remasterizados, On Through The Night (1980) e High ‘N’ Dry (1981), além de b-sides, raridades, remixes, Radio One sessions e um show inédito de 1980 em Oxford .
O álbum também conta com uma versão, produzida por Nick Tauber, de Rock Brigade. Ouça mais abaixo.
Elliott comentou: “Bem, os fãs pediram e nós ouvimos! Estamos empolgados por termos trabalhado nos nossos primeiros anos com um material raro, incluindo o recém-lançado ‘Live At The Oxford New Theatre’, gravado na turnê britânica de 1980 … Foi uma viagem montar esse box e espero que todos gostem de ouvi-lo!”
