专辑介绍

★空降英国专辑榜TOP6、攻坚摇滚专辑榜亚军

★英伦新潮金属不死摇滚名团屹立三十年最完整双CD精选

>>尽收34首代表曲目:睥睨英美冠亚军单曲"Love Bites"+"Pour Some Sugar On Me"+"Let’s Get Rocked"+特蒐一首从未发行过、翻唱自摇滚团The Kinks主唱Ray Davies作品"Waterloo Sunset"

八十年代叱吒大西洋两岸的威豹合唱团,成军至今已逾27年,他们剽悍的重摇滚乐风以及双吉他编制,让他们和Iron Maiden一起坐稳「英伦新潮重金属」双雄宝座。而广受欢迎的抒情歌词,使他们的专辑全球总销量远远超过三千万张,成为实至名归的摇滚天团。

像历史上所有深入人心的乐团一样,威豹的命运始终多舛。’77年组成威豹,但直到’80年鼓手Rick Allen加入,乐队班底才算底定,首张专辑『On Through The Night』就此问世。等到’83年发行『Pyromania』在全球销量超过千万,他们就此晋身摇滚巨星之列。’84年除夕,Allen因为车祸失去左臂,他靠着特製的电子击鼓设备继续替威豹效力;延迟发行的第四张专辑『Hysteria』在全球销量突破1千6百万,单曲"Pour Some Sugar On Me"和"Love Bites"先后拿下美国流行榜冠亚军。但厄运并未就此停止,’91年Clark因酒精和药物中毒骤逝,使得第五张专辑『Adrenalize』延宕一年推出。’92年吉他手Vivian Campbell(Dio、Whitesnake)上场,此一阵容维持至今。’95年的精选辑『Vault』收录新歌"When Love And Hate Collide",是威豹在英国家乡商业成绩最高的单曲。后来陆续推出『Slang』、『Euphoria』专辑,美国VH1频道特别播映威豹合唱团的相关节目,包括他们成军十年的传记电影「Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story」。『X』作为威豹2002年第十张大碟,也代表他们从’92年以降维持十年的五人阵容成功跨越世代鸿沟,再度写下历史新页。

今年发行的【威豹天下超精选】,记录了威豹团员对每首作品创作的过程及亲身感想,当中收录多首畅销排行单曲,包括威豹招牌摇滚劲歌"Pour Some Sugar On Me"、摇滚情歌"Hysteria"和"Love Bites",以及流行节奏蓝调天后玛丽亚凯莉改编翻唱的抒情摇滚原曲"Bringin’ On The Heartbreak"。双CD加值盘完整收录34首威豹代表作,其中包括一首从未发行过、翻唱自摇滚团The Kinks主唱Ray Davies的作品"Waterloo Sunset"。

Best of Def Leppard (or The Best Of) is a compilation of some of Def Leppard's most popular songs, including "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Love Bites," and "Bringin' On The Heartbreak." The album charted at No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart.

Best Of supplements 1995's Vault as the definitive collection of Def Leppard's work. In fact, Best of Disc 1 is essentially Vault with the addition of "Long Long Way To Go.

A 2-CD limited edition was released in a slipcase with more obscure fan-favourite album cuts on the second disc, including tracks from more recent albums. In the UK, a cover of The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" was included as a bonus. This foreshadowed the band's forthcoming '70s cover album Yeah!

Best Of was released in a number of territories around the world, but not North America. A 2-CD best of called Rock of Ages was issued there instead.

The single-CD edition of the album features material from 1981's High 'n' Dry through to 2002's X. Track distribution focuses largely on the band's late '80s/early '90s hits, with a single song from High 'n' Dry, two from Pyromania (1983), six from Hysteria (1987), four from Adrenalize (1992), two from Retro Active (1993), and a single song from X. "When Love & Hate Collide", the sole new song from 1995's greatest hits set Vault was also included. The 2-CD version gives a more even cross-section of the band's career, starting with two songs from On Through the Night (1980), four from High 'n' Dry, seven from Pyromania, seven from Hysteria, five from Adrenalize, two from Retro Active, "When Love & Hate Collide" the new song on Vault, two from Slang (1996), one from Euphoria (1999), two from X (2002) and one new song, the cover of "Waterloo Sunset" which was to be included in the band's forthcoming cover album Yeah! (2006).
