Def Leppard have announcedVolume 4, the next box set in a series of six containing their complete recorded output, due out November 13th.
The set is comprised of the group’s most recent three studio albums alongside 41 rare tracks, including a previously unheard cover of the Beatles’ “Revolution” that was recorded for a TV ad that never materialized (listen below).
“Revolution” is rendered in a glam rock arena-sized format. Def Leppard, unsurprisingly, sink so comfortably into the song you’d hardly be able to tell it was a Beatles original if it weren’t so famous already. Their strong Beatles influence across their body of work makes their comfort with the track expected with its existence providing a missing link to understand their sound for those who view them primarily as a glam metal powerhouse.

The box set will be available in a CD and vinyl edition composed of six discs and 11 platters respectively. The set will also contain a hardback book filled with photographs by Ross Halfin, liner notes by Classic Rock’s Paul Elliott, and exclusive interviews from Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen, Vivian Campbell, and Phil Collen.
Elliot said of the box, “At last! It’s here! Volume 4 gathers together our remaining studio albums and some very interesting bonus material. Some of the bonus bits are quite recent but there is also something that was lost in the vaults for over 33 years until earlier this year. We’re extremely excited to finally put this box set in front of you, it’s a great listen and a good read too!”
