Sheffield's finest Def Leppard have announced the third in their series of box sets, an ongoing project designed to gather the band's band catalogue together into four luxurious gift-shaped packages.
Volume Three will be released via UMC/Virgin on June 11, and will focus on the band's output in the noughties, with three albums X, Yeah! and Songs From The Sparkle Lounge now available on vinyl for the first time. Completing the set are three more albums: B-Sides, Yeah! 2 and Yeah! Live.
B-Sides features a collection of tracks that have never appeared on vinyl before, while Yeah! 2 includes songs previously only available as part of the limited edition bonus disc that accompanied the original release of Yeah!, other covers previously unavailable on vinyl, plus a previously unreleased Phil Collen demo version of The Police's hit Roxanne.
Yeah! Live is a compilation of live recordings of covers by the band, including a previously unreleased version of T. Rex's 20th Century Boy, recorded live at the VH1 Rock Awards in 2005. Full tracklist below.
The albums have been re-mastered by Ronan McHugh and Joe Elliott, and the box set is completed by a hard-backed book featuring photos by Ross Halfin and liner notes from Classic Rock’s Paul Elliott. Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen and Phil Collen have also written introductions to the set.
