This is an exclusive UK limited edition best-of double-disc from Def Leppard. The first disc (same as the International pressing) features 17 of the band's biggest hits such as 'Animal', 'Pour Some Sugar on Me', 'Let's Get Rocked', 'When Love and Hate Collide' and many more. The bonus disc features an additional 17 tracks including a brand new and previously unreleased song, a cover of the Kinks 'Waterloo Sunset'. Mercury. 2004.
Do yourself a favor - This anthology is available as a double disc version. More songs, more comprehensive and a better value. Get that one instead. The double disc best of is like having a Def Lep super hits jukebox. Thirty four tracks, rather neatly divided into two discs, packed to the gills and a nifty liner book with band members commenting on the songs (personal favorite, "Slang" was about phone sex!). This twin CD renders the old "Vault" superfluous. I have no problems with the songs being inconsequentially listed. I don't want a history lesson, I want to rock. By opening the first disc with the still amazing "Pour Some Sugar On Me," you're put on notice that the music is out to party you hearty. This set leans more to the pop hit sound that was exemplified by "Pyromania" and "Hysteria." It also leans heavily on those titles; since songs from two albums comprise half of the CD. But you also get "Bringing On The Heartbreak," the power ballad that put "High and Dry" over the top, and their killer cover of Sweet's "Action" from the odds and ends "Retro-Active." (The harder rock and less known material comes forth on disc two of the double set. Disc Two is also the source of this collection's sole new song, a rather subdued but still distinctly Def cover of The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset.") The liner notes promise a covers album in 2005, and given their choice of influences (Kinks and Sweet...strange roots, guys!) I am very interested to see how Def Leppard enters middle age.
