Reviews
- I have this copy. I bought it directly from Bludgeon Riffola when it was first released. Red Label, picture cover...I received a letter with it but no lyric sheet. The letter is quite cool as it has Bludgeon Riffola headed paper and an apology for late despatch due to high demand. It was PP'd as Joe Elliot but clearly not his signature and the bottom of the letter is missing.
I'd say record is in good condition, I did play it quite a bit, cover is good, with a slight slit where the record has worn through on the edge. Happy to provide photos. I'm happy to sell, please drop me a message if interested or require more details. - Hi everyone - very keen to get a copy. Will pay well for excellent condition release. Please email me if interested.

I noticed that too and I was wondering if it because they wanted to keep the artwork and text as close as possible to the original release (since the speed appears on the back of the sleeve as well) or if it was just an oversight, seeing as how they changed the text on side 2 (dropping "The" from "Overture", adding "1." for the track number when it's the only track on that side and that doesn't appear on the originals). When I first saw that, I knew it would cause confusion.referencing The Def Leppard E.P. (12", 45 RPM, EP, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered) 5726672
yea, that about sent me for a loop. I read 33 1/3 and then changed the speed.referencing The Def Leppard E.P. (12", 45 RPM, EP, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered) 5726672
Cover and label both show 33 1/3 r.p.m. but it's a 45 r.p.m.
Includes small leaflet.- The very 1st issues of the EP came with a folded lyric/picture insert-a fairly crude photocopy job. Frank Noon left the band fairly quickly after recording the EP but there is one known autographed sleeve with his signature along with the other band members.
- The original issue had a picture sleeve and an insert, this was limited to 150 copies. The next 850 copies had no insert. After that came the red label without picture sleeve and then the yellow label.
