THE VAULT
Definitely (Vault Copies)
'Resilience and drive are at the core of Def Leppard and a big reason why the band has endured.'
- Vivian Campbell
With unlimited access to the Def Leppard Vault, Definitely presents over 1,500 items of memorabilia and photography, spanning four decades of the band's history.
The hundreds of pieces of ephemera include handwritten correspondence, rare vinyl pressings, tour memorabilia, set lists, lyrics, stage clothing, music video storyboards, draft album artwork and press cuttings, including many from the band's early days presented in a wallpaper sample scrapbook compiled by Joe Elliott's mother, Cindy Elliott.
Hundreds of photographs are featured within the book, many of these unseen, granting the viewer unprecedented access to Def Leppard. Photographs from band members' personal archives and fans across the world are featured alongside those taken by renowned rock photographers such as Ross Halfin, Mick Rock and Anton Corbijn. The band is seen recording in various studios, at promo shoots, on tour in planes, trains, cars and Holiday Inns, backstage and, of course, doing what they are best known for - performing their explosive live shows in front of global audiences from 1978 to the present day.
Part memoir, part scrapbook, Definitely: The Official Story of Def Leppard is the ultimate record of Def Leppard's legendary career.
