    This one rocks regardless of being an RCA club pressing. I can only compare it to my original cassette and the ultra HD online but this sounds great.

        This is easily the best Def Leppard release, followed closely by "Pyromania". This is before they were a big deal.

        Side A is pure perfection, building to "Heartbreak"/"Switch625", the high point of the album.

        Recording is super clean and dynamic. There is some emphasis on the highs, as was typical for early '80s pop rock.

        Pressing is excellent. This is the copy you want.
