Def Leppard celebrate the 30th anniversary of their seminal album 'Hysteria', one of the best-selling and most influential releases in music history, with the release of 'Hysteria (Remastered 2017)' through Bludgeon Riffola/UMC/Mercury.

Released on Friday 4th August 2017, the anniversary remastered edition will come in various formats – Super Deluxe 5-CD/2-DVD, Deluxe 3-CD, Standard 1-CD and 2-LP Black Vinyl – as well as a limited edition 2-LP Coloured Vinyl. The reissue boasts B-sides and live tracks and additionally the audio for 'In The Round In Your Face (Live)' on CD for the first time.

Frontman Joe Elliott told us:

"It's hard to believe that it's been thirty years since the release of 'Hysteria' as in some respects it really does seem like only yesterday. So, to mark this milestone, we wanted to do something very special for our fans and give them the definitive version of the album, one that incorporates all of the memories and milestones that we caught on tape and some of the madness that we got up to on the road. We hope it means as much to you as it does to us."

Guitarist Phil Collen added:

"I look back at the whole 'Hysteria' experience with excitement along with fond and tragic memories. It was our commercial zenith thanks to Mutt Lange's insistence that we create an artistic hybrid between hard rock and pop Top 40 music using every genre available as an inspiration. It was a rock album that would garner seven hit singles. Mission accomplished."

Essential listening for fans across the board, 'Hysteria' indisputably ranks as one of the most decorated and revered rock albums of all time, with over ten million sales in the USA alone, it would go on to sell over thirty million copies worldwide. Voted one of the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time by Q Magazine in the UK, it also boasted five immortal Top 5 anthems such as 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Animal', 'Love Bites', 'Hysteria', 'Rocket' and 'Armageddon It'.

Among the new formats, the Super Deluxe Edition boasts 5-CD/2-DVDs including four books—Story Of, a Ross Halfin photo book, Discography, 'Hysteria' Tour Program, and Tour Poster. The Deluxe features 3 CDs, the Vinyl is 2 black LPs, along with a standard 1-CD. In addition, there will be a limited-edition 2-LP Coloured Vinyl available for the first time, from the uDiscover Store.
