This is the extremely rare first release (Red Label) of The Def Leppard 7in E.P. released January 1979 (SRTS/78/CUS 232).

This was the first proper release by the band, self financed, with loans from friends and family helping towards recording and vinyl pressing costs.  The recording took place over 2 days at Fairview Studios Hull, UK, in November 1978.  Only 1000 copies of this first original red label release were produced.  This was a seminal moment in the early history of Def Leppard and has become a very rare and desirable collectable for fans.

Owned from new.  The disc is in excellent condition with only very faint surface play marks.  It plays absolutely brilliantly without any jumps, noticeable crackles, or ticks.  The labels are also in great shape (see images), no spindle damage, or pen marks.  This is a fabulous example of The Def Leppard EP and extremely rare in this condition.

The iconic picture sleeve is in very good condition, very clean with secure glued edges - there is a very small tear to the top edge of the rear side (see final image).

No lyrics insert.
