Def Leppard will belatedly celebrate the 40th anniversary of their star-making third album Pyromania with a massive reissue featuring previously unreleased tracks, live footage and more.
Pyromania 40 will arrive on April 26 in a variety of formats, including a four-CD/Blu-ray box, a one-LP half-speed master, two-LP black vinyl, two-LP colored vinyl, two-CD and digitally. It’s available to preorder on the band’s website now.
The four-CD/Blu-ray box includes the remastered original album along with a full disc of demos, including an outtake of the album’s 11th track “No You Can’t Do That.” It also includes live footage from Def Leppard’s December 1983 concert at Germany’s Westfalenhallen, a September 1983 concert at the Forum in Inglewood, California, several official videos and an instrumental mix of the album. A rough mix of “Photograph” with an unfinished vocal will hit all streaming platforms on March 1.
You can see the full track listing below.

How ‘Pyromania’ Turned Def Leppard Into Superstars
Released in January 1983, Pyromania launched Def Leppard into the stratosphere, selling 10 million copies in the U.S. alone off the strength of hits like “Photograph,” “Rock of Ages” and “Foolin’.” It was the first Def Leppard album to feature guitarist Phil Collen and was produced by Mutt Lange, who had previously worked with the band on 1981’s High ‘n’ Dry.
“Pyromania is a really special album for obvious reasons,” Collen said in a statement. “It was the first time we all worked together with Mutt Lange, and I was able to play with my incredible friend Steve Clark, who was such a gifted and wonderful guitarist. I am incredibly proud of the album and what we collectively achieved.”
Singer Joe Elliott added: “A labor of love and I loved every minute of it! Rediscovering dusty old cassettes which were brilliantly restored by Ronan [McHugh] and finding the long lost unfinished ’11th track’ was a journey only few of us are lucky enough to take … what a trip!”
