I do not have this album but Im trying to get it. I do know that the songs "Getcha Rocks Off" & "The Overture" can be found on the "On Through The Night" album. "Ride Into The Sun" can be found on the "Retro Active" album. P.S. I have both albums.
Would like to know how i can purchase this Def Leppard EP as i would like to add it to my collection. Please make this one avaiable for purchase. Thanks! Forever Fan..
We have a signed copy of this EP for sale. It is in good condition, unplayed for a long time. Given to us by Pete Willis. It comes with sleeve but no lyrics. All offers considered.
Well, I was at Grammar school in Grantham in 1978 and Def Leppard played one of the gigs at the Grantham Guildhall. I was in the same year as the temporary drummers brother Frank Noon. I cannot remember if they supported the Next Band (a school band) or they supported Def Leppard.
Anyway, you could tell the quality even in those early days. A few months later we were offered their 1st pressing EP the Bludgeon Riffola version, for £1.00 from memory through a friend of the Noon's. I bought one as did a few of my mates and we all still have the EP, all of us (well I know my 3 close mates) have the versions with a small printed lyric sheet. Nope it is not a photocopy as it was in the record when I got it and you can carbon date it if you want!!!! It is quite exciting having this record but I am also very attached to it as it is now so old and only a bit younger than me!! My one is in good condition but saying that it has a small tear (about 1cm) from the top of the sleeve, oh well....if you look at me and I am 48 there is more than one small tear and a lot more ageing!!
My dad got me their E.P for my 12th Birthday- I still listen to it!
I wish DL would release this album as a cd as i have all there cd's except this first one. I have seen it for sale/bid on Ebay for those looking to buy it. So Please Def Leppard if you read this please consider making this album available for purchase for all your fans.
I went all the way to Sheffield 15 years ago to find it (I live in New York!!!!!!)....So worth it!!
I recently found a copy- After all these years, I didn't have to think twice about getting it. It is like the holy grail to long time Lepp heads!
