The collection was his personal collection and not store stock so you know there was good stuff in there and let me tell you there was. Noble Records bought a massive metal collection from a gentlemen who use to own a record store. See it, like it, grab it and that is what I did with this piece.
When I am out crate digging, I like to find the unusual, the different and if it is something I haven’t seen before, I usually grab it because who knows if I will see it again. This time they take it a step further and give you pictures of the road crew which I think is an awesome touch!!Īnd lastly is the Merch page and one last band photo… Now we are to the page where the band thanks the road crew. This next one has a little flap on the right side…Īnd when folded out, changes the picture to this… It is a nice long essay that is a must read. This next page give us a little history on the band from the release of the ‘Hysteria’ album up to the 1988 leg of the tour. Basically every page has all the members as it is a band… Unlike a lot of Tour books, we don’t get an individual band member page talking about each member. When you open it, you get to see the same concert shot wrapped by the Hysteria album cover. The cover is above as the header and if you notice the triangle cut out. They are still one of my favorite bands of all time and why I didn’t buy a tour book back then is beyond me…probably because I was a broke high school student…we will go with that. It spawned an impressive 7 singles and they were the biggest band in the world at that time. The band was Joe Elliott, Rick Allen, Rick Savage, Steve Clark and Phil Collen and the album Hysteria was their biggest selling album of all time going Diamond with well over 12 million copies. Looking back, what was great about these shows is that I got to see Steve Clark play as he passed a few years later. Twice in Atlanta, one of which I won on a Radio call-in show, and once in Chattanooga, TN because we had to see them again. The Tour ran from 1987-1988 and I saw it 3 times. And we are kicking it off with the band’s biggest tour, Hysteria. Only 3 because that is all I have at this time.

This effort was a result of the band having beef with their record company concerning royalties from their previous songs which were being sold online. “Pour Some Sugar on Me” was the last song Def Leppard had written for “Hysteria”. However, the band was able to write and record the tune relatively-quickly. And it went on to contribute greatly to the overall monumental success of the album. He credited Run DMC’s 1986 cover of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” as inspiration. And other songs which he has acknowledged as having influenced the track are “Sugar, Sugar” (1969) by The Archies (which was the first record he had ever purchased) and “Bang a Gong” (1971) by T.
