On their highly anticipated new album, Def Leppard have created a heartfelt and hard rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late ‘60s and ‘70s - The Kinks, T. Rex, Badfinger David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Electric Light Orchestra, Thin Lizzy, and Blondie.

Recording essential versions of the music that influenced their youth, the band have brilliantly merged the "Now" with the "Then" to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word: 'YEAH!'

Said Joe Elliott, "I thought it was about time we showed the world what our true roots were ... British pop rock from the early to mid ‘70s. The songs on this album are at least partly responsible for us making the kind of music that we do."

Adds Phil Collen, "We didn't want to make the standard covers album and gave this a lot of deep thought as Joe has been going on about doing this sort of project for 26 years. We wanted to express ourselves through these songs and approached the recording process as if they were our own.”
