CD Description
If you spent several years meticulously preparing each release like Def Leppard, you'd have countless unused ditties lying around too. This bounty forms the basis for 1993's RETROACTIVE.
The collection includes B-sides and rarities that will be familiar to only the most die-hard fans--includingsuch rockers as "She's Too Tough", "Ride Into the Sun", and"Ring of Fire", plus the ballads "Miss You in a Heartbeat",and "Two Steps Behind". Usually such compilations are of variable quality, but RETRO ACTIVE is sequenced so cunningly it's almost comparable to a Def Leppard studio album.

Customer Reviews

Fans MUST buy this album
This is by far the best album Def Leppard have released - only it isn't an album; it's a collection of B sides and nearlys. Some great non-traditional Def Leppard tracks like Desert Song and Fractured Love as well as some good old rock tracks like Ride into the Sun and Ring of Fire. There's also a storming cover of an old sweet song - Action - and was released as a single. Ballads are not missing, buut don't be surprised to hear Miss You in a Heartbeat no less than three times on the album! I can't wait till the next B-side collection!

More than a collection of cutting room sweepings!
Although billed as an album of fillers, cast-offs and 'b' sides it is more than that, with gems such as "Miss You in a Heartbeat", "Two Steps Behind" and "Desert Song" standing out as classic Leppard tracks.

There is some padding and alternative versions of the same songs but I'd dare to say as an album it is better than "Slang" and on a par with the Leps first two albums (in my opinion!)

EXCELLANT
A compilation of Def Leppard b-tracks from through the out years.Best tracks are 'Fractured Love', She's too tough', Only After Dark' and 'I Wanna be your Hero'. A really good cd, which like DEF LEPPARD seems to be severely under rated.Buy it, as it is better then many band's actual albums, after all these are B-sides.
