Def Leppard bodo 13. 11. 2026 in pri založbi UMR izdali četrti del svoje serije albumskih kompletov. »Volume 4«, kot se domiselno imenuje najnovejši, vključuje istoimenski album iz leta 2015, album »Diamond Star Halos« iz leta 2022 in album »Drastic Symphonies« (2023), poleg tega pa še četrti disk z redkimi posnetki, ki ga je izbral frontman Joe Elliott.
Joe Elliot (vokalist skupine) ne skriva navdušenja: “Končno! Tu je! Volume 4 združuje naše preostale studijske albume in nekaj zelo zanimivega dodatnega materiala. Nekateri dodatni posnetki niso prav stari, vendar je med njimi tudi nekaj takšnih, kar je bilo v arhivu izgubljeno več kot 33 let. Vse do začetka letošnjega leta. Izjemno smo navdušeni, da vam lahko končno predstavimo to zbirko.”
Prva izmed raritet, ki ji lahko že prisluhnete spodaj, je priredba The Beatles klasike Revolution, ki je bila posneta za neimenovano oglaševalsko kampanjo, a nikoli uporabljena. Izvirnik, posnet leta 1968, je bila prva skladba skupine The Beatles, za katero je bila podeljena licenca za uporabo v televizijskem oglasu, ko je Nike leta 1987 plačal 500.000 dolarjev za pravice do uporabe pesmi za eno leto.
Med drugimi skladbami, ki so uvrščene na disk z raritetami, je tudi šest skladb, posnetih za iTunes leta 2006 (kasneje izdanih pod naslovom »The Lost Session« leta 2018), tri skladbe v živo, posnete v studiu Abbey Road leta 2008 (kasneje na voljo kot izdaja ob dnevu »Record Store Day« leta 2018), tri studijske skladbe, posnete za album »Mirror Ball« iz leta 2011 – Live & More, ter različice skladb Rock Of Ages, Pour Some Sugar On Me in Hysteria, posnete za Apple v letih 2012–2013, ter še nekaj demo posnetkov, radijskih verzij in priredb. Celoten seznam skladb je naveden spodaj.
Def Leppard: “Volume 4 – 2015–2023” je na voljo v izdaji s šestimi CD-ji in 11 vinilnimi ploščami! Lahko ga že prednaročite.
