DEF LEPPARD - Live At The BBC 1979-1980 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Limited to 500 copies, a 55-minute black vinyl released in a beautiful, laminated sleeve with rare, very early photos of the band. This genuinely wonderful album contains two legendary concerts from the period before and just after the release of the debut LP 'On Through The Night'. First, a 32-minute, fantastic-sounding show from August 1979 (taken from the original, promotional BBC Transcription Disc + an additional, missing track 'Rock Brigade' from another source), when the band had a self-financed EP to its name. Most of the second side is taken up by an almost complete, 24-minute show from the 1980 Reading Festival (with a brilliant version of 'Lady Strange' from the second record) - in almost equally good quality! The album contains rare titles not released on official records, such as 'Glad I'm Alive' and 'Medicine Man'. Generally I am not a die-hard Def Leppard fan, but on the first two albums and at the early concerts (with two lead guitars in the old style) they were phenomenal! The whole sounds 20% better than the best versions on YouTube (links below). A must! Condition: NEW, but not shrink-wrapped.
