Friday, January 19th was a big day for Def Leppard Announcements. First, Def Leppard’s entire catalog is now available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. Finally!!! It didn’t really matter to me as I already had everything they have ever put out (and then some), but now they have stepped into the modern times and are opening their music up to so many more people. And as a special treat, you get a new release called The Lost Sessions…
It has the following track listing:
DEF LEPPARD – THE LOST SESSION LIVE EP
- 01 – Let It Go (Live) – (5:09)
- 02 – Rock On (Live) – (2:48)
- 03 – Foolin’ (Live) – (4:43)
- 04 – Promises (Live) – (3:58)
- 05 – When Love & Hate Collide (Live) – (4:13)
