Album Notes Def Leppard: Pete Willis, Steve Clark (vocals, guitar); Rick Savage (vocals, bass); Rick Allen (vocals, drums); Joe Elliott (vocals). Recorded at Battery Studios, London, England. Between the time of Def Leppard's 1980 debut, ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, and the band's second album, HIGH 'N' DRY (released one year later), the young group had improved tremendously. An extended world tour had made the band musically tighter, but they'd also become better songwriters--HIGH 'N' DRY contains several tracks that longtime Leppard fans point to as classics. Another major reason for the group's vast improvement was that renowned producer Mutt Lange was involved in the proceedings. While the album wasn't a smash hit, it faired extremely well on the U.S. charts, due to touring and a newly born cable network called MTV, which aired Def Leppard's low-budget clips from HIGH 'N' DRY quite often. Highlights included the power ballad "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" (which would soon become a concert staple for the band), as well as the album-opening anthem "Let It Go," the instrumental "Switch 625," and the rough and rocking title track. HIGH 'N' DRY was reissued in the mid-'80s with a remix of "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" and a previously unreleased track from the album's recording sessions, "Me and My Wine." The late-'90s version deleted these two extra tracks, however. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||||

Review ID: 10000000004982460 Was this review helpful? Report this review  AwesomeReview created: 05/01/07 by: monkeyhadley ( 4 ) I purchased this for my husband as a gift. He has tried for years to find it in stores unsuccessfully. The first day we listened to it three times and it immediately found it's place in his car where he can listen while driving to and from work. Awesome album of Def Leopard's early work especially B side single Me and My Wine! Review ID: 10000000003452727 Was this review helpful? Report this review An oldie but a goodie.Review created: 02/21/06 by: 1 of 2 people found this review helpful. This album has many overlooked tracks. Why? Only cause Bringin on the Heartbreak was filmed and played on MTV in America. Let It Go and High N' Dry (Saturday Night) were both filmed as well, but did not recieve air time. However, if you buy this album, listen to it all, and get the U.K. version, as it includes Bringin on the Heartbreak (Remix) and Me and My Wine (remix), both with Phil Collen. Seriously, get this album as it contains some overlooked tracks and is worth getting as it hints at Pyromania's successes. Review ID: 10000000000757322 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
