DEF LEPPARD are set to release deluxe editions of the classic albums Pyromania and Adrenalize - the Canadian release date has moved from June 16th to July 7th via Universal Music. The reissues will be out in the UK on June 8th, world on June 9th and the US on June 16th

Both deluxe editions will feature deluxe digipack gatefold packaging with expanded booklets containing rare and previously unseen photographs, comprehensive sleeve-notes telling the story behind each album and include images of rare single covers and memorabilia from the period.

Produced by Robert “Mutt” Lange, Pyromania (the band’s third album originally released in 1983) sold over 10-million copies in the USA alone and spawned the huge singles ‘Photograph’, ‘Rock Of Ages and ‘Foolin’.

The deluxe edition features a remastered version of the original album and a bonus disc of a previously unreleased 15-track show from The Forum in Los Angeles in 1983.

The album debuted at #1 in both the UK and USA (went on to sell over 7-million copies worldwide).
