The ultimate rare treasure for the ultimate Def Leppard fan! I have decided to part with my prized Def Leppard 1987 Hysteria album I personally purchased on Dec 24th 1988- check out the photo with the receipt visible through the bag. It was purchased at Sam the Record Man in Ottawa Canada. The album has remained in the original store sealed bag to this day and is in mint condition in the original shrink wrap. That's over 33years and untouched! I have to assume it's the first press since it was only reissued on Jan, 1 2000 and I have never opened the bag. It was tucked away in an old stand up turn table I found only years later and it has stayed sealed.
If you have any questions let me know.
Hysteria is the fourth studio album by English rock band Def Leppard, released on 3 August 1987 through Mercury Records and reissued on 1 January 2000.[2] It is Def Leppard's best-selling album to date, selling over 20 million copies worldwide, including 12 million in the US, and spawning seven hit singles. The album charted at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart.[3][4]
Hysteria was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange.[5] The title of the album was thought up by drummer Rick Allen, referring to his 1984 car accident, the amputation of his arm, and the ensuing worldwide media coverage surrounding it. It is the last album to feature guitarist Steve Clark before his death, although songs co-written by him would appear on the band's next album, Adrenalize.[6]
The album is the follow-up to the band's 1983 breakthrough Pyromania. Hysteria's creation took over three years and was plagued by delays, including the aftermath of drummer Rick Allen’s accident that cost him his left arm on 31 December 1984. Subsequent to the album's release, Def Leppard published a book entitled Animal Instinct: The Def Leppard Story, written by Rolling Stone magazine senior editor David Fricke, on the three-year recording process of Hysteria and the tough times the band endured through the mid-1980s.
