2015 remaster with 16-page booklet.

Def Leppard’s fourth album Hysteria, released in August 1987, topped the UK and U.S. album charts. It has been certified 12 x Platinum in the U.S. and has gone on to sell over 25 million copies worldwide.

The album spawned seven hit singles, including the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number one “Love Bites”, alongside “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, “Hysteria”, “Armageddon It”, “Animal”, “Rocket”, and “Women”.

The album’s goal, set out by producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, was to be a hard rock version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, in that every track was a potential hit single. Songs were therefore written with this concept in mind.

As one of the world’s best-selling music artists, Def Leppard have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and have two albums with RIAA Diamond Certification, Pyromania and Hysteria.
