Def Leppard-High’N’Dry

The second album from Def Leppard, it is my favorite by the band. It came out in 1981,one of the few records I bought that year. I was living in Havre de Grace and the closest record store was at a mall near Baltimore. A great record , every track is a rocker sounding almost Metal on some songs. Standout tracks are “Let It Go”,”Bringin’ On The Heartbreak”,”Lady Strange”,”On Through The Night”,the title of their first album, and “Mirror Mirror(Look Into My Eyes)”. All of these songs made it onto some of my mix tapes of which I made over 200. Not to say that the other five songs on the record aren’t good,they are. The last song “No No No” repeats the last screamed No over and over and will do it endlessly if you have a manual turntable like I do. Later issues of the record had it fade out. The cover is by Hipgnosis.
