Def Leppard have announced Volume One, a box set collecting the band's first four studio albums, plus a disc of rarities and a live set called Live at the LA Forum 1983. The set is the first in a planned four-volume, career-spanning box set series.
In total, Volume One contains the band's first four albums—1980's On Through The Night, 1981's High ’N’ Dry, 1983's Pyromania and their blockbuster 1987 album, Hysteria—in addition to Rarities Volume 1, a compilation of rare B-sides and early recordings hand-selected by frontman Joe Elliot, a live set called Live at the LA Forum 1983 and the band's original, self-titled EP on a three-inch CD.
Every album in the box set was mastered by longtime band producer Ronan McHugh and cut by Greg Moore. It will be available as an 8CD set, or a 7LP, limited edition set. The set will also feature a hardback book with rare photos of the group.
Volume One will be available June 1 via Bludgeon Riffola/Mercury/UMe. You can preorder it right here.
