Def Leppard – Retro Active (2022 Reissue Double-LP)

Retro Active is a compilation album by Def Leppard, originally released on 5 October 1993.

After releasing only five albums over the course of a twelve-year period, Def Leppard used Retro Active to break that habit, provide a treat for diehard fans, and close the door on the Steve Clark era of the band. The album features touched-up versions of B-sides and previously unreleased recordings from the band’s recording sessions from 1984 to 1993.

The album debut at No. 6 on the UK Album Chart and No. 9 on Billboard Top 200 Album chart. This is the first album to feature songs recorded with newly added guitarist Vivian Campbell.
