Def Leppard have announced a host of releases tying in with their upcoming 'Hysteria' anniversary U.K. and Irish tour. Recently announced as nominees for 2019's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the multi-million selling act will release their first ever Christmas single, a singles box set, a new 'Best Of' set, and more. 

​Closing out 2018, legendary British rock ‘n’ roll icons have assembled a brand new greatest hits collection entitled 'The Story So Far - The Best Of', arriving in stores and online 30th November 2018. It will be available in multiple configurations: a 2-CD set comprised of 35 tracks, 1-CD comprised of 17 tracks, 2LP vinyl, and digital. Among a blockbuster tracklisting loaded with timeless smashes, all four versions feature three new songs, including the official recording of the band’s recent fan favourite Depeche Mode cover “Personal Jesus”,  “Rock On (Remix)”, and the original holiday song 'We All Need Christmas'. As a bonus for collectors, the first pressing vinyl copies of 'The Story So Far' feature an exclusive 7” single of “Personal Jesus” and “We All Need Christmas”. 
 
Pre-order is available now, coming with an instant grat download of “Personal Jesus”. Of the latter, Rolling Stone claimed it; “Features a little more of the group’s signature giant vocals...and to great effect”.
 
Additionally, Def Leppard shared 'We All Need Christmas' as a standalone digital single. A delicate acoustic ballad, the track proves fireside-ready with its uplifting, hopeful spirit and sense of seasonal soul. Purchase 'We All Need Christmas' HERE.  The music video for the track is expected to debut soon.
  
Next up on 30th November 2018, the group will release 'Hysteria: The Singles', a new limited edition, 10-disc vinyl box set featuring all of the 7” singles from their eponymous multi-platinum album Hysteria, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. 'Hysteria: The Singles' features repressed versions of all eight 7-inch vinyl singles for 'Hysteria' including their Top-5 hits 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Animal', 'Love Bites', 'Hysteria', 'Rocket' and 'Armageddon It'.  Two bonus singles, 'Excitable'/'Run Riot' (Album Version) and 'Love and Affection'/ 'Don’t Shoot The Shotgun' (Album Version), are only available in this box set. 
 
Housed in a box with a lift-off lid, 'Hysteria: The Singles' features new cover art made up of all 10 of the single’s sleeves, including the special Spanish 'Animal' single, plus a booklet with a full band discography and an introduction written by front man Joe Elliott.
