Def Leppard brought unprecedented energy and innovation to every song, to every show and then partnered with legendary producer Mutt Lange to become heavy metal’s apostles to top 40 radio - delivering an astonishing string of hit singles and multi-platinum albums while setting new standards for arena rock.

 

Heavy metal, the NWOBHM and hair metal have all come and gone, but Def Leppard remain.

 

This book discusses all the band's recorded work in detail, from the legendary rawness of The Budgeon Riffola EP to the polished hard rock of Pyromania and Hysteria and beyond.
