Edited 5 months agoDisappointed. I understand the use of stock pictures, but when the pictures include a sticker that is not typical of the record nor on the item received, I feel that is misleading. This was a Christmas present for my boss, and I was excited that this one had a Kmart sticker on the cellophane pictured and there was one right down the street from him growing up. below is the response i received.

That is not how discogs works. The picture was posted by whom ever created the listing. Could have been years ago. This is copied from the discogs site. You can read how to use discogs for new buyer
IMPORTANT: The photo you see in the Marketplace is a general photo from our database. Although the version of the item must match the photo listed, the actual condition of the item may be different from what you see in the photo"
As an uninformed buyer, I guess this one is one me, but I will never be buying from this seller. Never had this issue with any other seller on the site. -

Literally got my copy for free while wheeling and dealing at an antique flea market. The jacket is destroyed on the bottom but the disk cleaned up to a strong VG and plays VG+ to excellent. Excellent pressing. Love this album now I'll be on the hunt for a replacement jacket/inner sleeve but you can't beat free-99 for such a great record!!
-
My copy is pretty clean but still has a ton of background noise. Does anybody else have this issue? -
Edited 3 years agoI have the original brown translucent swirl (Quiex?)pressing. If you get a clean one, without groove damage it is a great listen.
-
My copy matches this pressing, and is dark translucent brown when held up to light. Are all copies like this? -
Edited 11 years agoI would love to be able to say that the music of my high school days that defined my school, friends and life was R.E.M., The Cure, or The Smiths but if I did I would be being dishonest and I really don’t feel like being a poser. No, in my small town where I lived until my 11th grade year of High School if you were not into Hank Williams J.R. then you were listening to Hair Metal bands like Poison, Motley Crue and Def Leppard. I would not get into those other bands until my Senior Year when I moved. Personally I am proud to say I did not find these bands as satisfying as some other music I was listening to in the privacy of my home such as early Genesis with Peter Gabriel. But I had this stupid desire to fit in and so I went to hair metal band shows, and would buy and wear the t-shirt from the concert the next day to school to validate my coolness that “hey I was at the show.”
For the most part I don’t really care for this style of music like a use to. I may occasionally bellow out “Home Sweet Home” by Motley Crue during a karaoke night for fun but I’m not at home reflecting on this music or buying the vinyl copies of these albums, except one group. I did honestly love Def Leppard. I felt they had a bit more to them than just being a band that played to get chicks and makes some cash. So I do have an affection for Def Leppard from that time, albums like High n Dry, Pyromania and Hysteria I do like having on vinyl.
I do have one issue with these albums, actually I have issues with one album and that’s Hysteria. Hysteria is their most successful album, infact, I think besides AC/DC’s Back In Black it’s one of the most successful Heavy Metal albums ever made. This is primary credited to their producer John “Mutt” Lang. Mutt Lang gave them their glossy and harmonious sound that defined them and made them more radio friendly. This has been a double edge sword in my opinion. Since Mutt Lang moved on to produce successful albums by his wife Shania Twain, I noticed the similarities between Def Leopard’s songs and songs he would produce for Shania Twain. People may think I’m crazy but just listen to Shania’s song “Any Man of Mine” and then listen to “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and tell me you can’t hear it or “If Your Not In Love (I’m Outta Here) and “Armageddon It” no they are not remakes but you can hear the style similarities.
Hysteria has dated a bit and to me now sounds overproduced and too glossy. I would love to hear someone remix and remaster the album in a more stripped down version removing the tons of layers of overdubs and sound effects. Under all that 80’s gloss I am convinced there is an excellent album to be excavated from it’s 80’s debris.
