Classic Def Leppard
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" is probably my favorite as I first heard it in a convention I attended in high school. Def Leppard has some great songs. The version on this album does NOT begin with "Step inside walk this way, you and me babe. Hey Hey. " It starts with "Love is like a bomb" and echoes for about fifteen seconds. I prefer this version to the original, but this is an important detail for those who want 100% original songs. Outside of this, all of the other songs to my knowledge are all original. Another song I remembered in elementary school is "Two Steps Behind. " It is unbelievable that this album is so expensive brand new. Try to get it under $10 if possible, but if you are a die-hard Def Leppard fan this is a must. .


Best of Def Leppard
I would do business with this person again. The product was delivered on time at the price agreed on.


Best of the Def Leppard compilations released to date
(If you want to inlcude the hard-to-find "Rock Vault", which includes Vault and a seperate disc of previously released tracks, then it would be 4 compilations). As of June 2006, Def Leppard has released 3 compilations: "Vault", "Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection", and this set, the "Best Of". And in my opinion, this one is their best so far, but not by much.

Why? What makes this collection better than "Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection"?

It's true that both this set and "ROA" have almost the same set of songs, including the usual suspects, like "Photograph", "Bringing On The Heartbreak" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me".

It's the songs that one contains that the other one doesn't, that really makes the difference for me, regardless of the price.

The songs on "Best Of" that are not on "ROA" are:
"Action", "Long, Long Way To Go", "Make Love Like A Man", "Waterloo Sunset"

The songs on "ROA" that are not on "Best Of" are:
"Miss You In A Heartbeat", "Switch 625", "No Matter What", "Mirror, Mirror (In My Eyes)", "Paper Sun"

Also, there are edited versions of "Rocket" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on "ROA" as opposed to the album versions that are on "Best Of". But "ROA" has a total of 35 tracks as opposed to "Best Of" which has 34. And "ROA" costs about $10 USD less than "Best Of".

My preference is "Best Of". But, which one should YOU buy? It all depends on which one has the tracks you really want and how much you want to spend? But, hey, you can always buy both, right? .


Here is what I have to say about "Best Of"


I live in the USA so here it is. I have been reading what others have been putting as pros and cons, well now I'm another Def Leppard fan, here is what I have to say about Vault, Best Of and Rock Of Ages. . .

I bout Vault ions ago on cassette I like the album. Now the later 2 albums are also known as Super Vault, here is what I'm doing. I downloaded Can't Keep Away From The Fire (which is the bonus track on the Japanese release of Vault). I am putting togther the 2 CD version of Best of with the remaining songs on Rock of Ages. Then I have Can't Keep. . . finally I just the other day purchased on here the box set version of Vault which comes with the bonus live disc, I am also including that so after all of that I will have all the versions of Vaut, all the versions of Best of and Rock of Ages together as one "Super Vault" collection. I know some people will say that is still not enough, but hey, it's a more complete verion of Vault. I am not doing this because I think they are lacking I'm doing this beacuse I can listen to all of them with changing the cds less.


Def Leppard still rocks!
This is a great CD with old and current music! I just love it! There music is still great after all these years.
