Def Leppard release six-CD Volume 4 on 13 November 2026, a box set that gathers three studio albums and a separate collection of rarities. The package also arrives as an 11-LP 180g vinyl edition, giving the band’s archive release two physical formats.
Def Leppard Volume 4 brings albums and rarities together
The set brings together the studio albums Def Leppard, Diamond Star Halos and Drastic Symphonies in their original packaging. The remaining discs are devoted to demos, live recordings, alternate mixes and collaborations curated by Joe Elliott. EMI’s listing gives the release date as 13 November 2026 and identifies the six-CD format.
A music news listing confirms Volume 4 as an 11-LP 180g vinyl edition as well. Both physical formats present the albums in their original packaging, while the additional discs expand the set with archival material. Several recordings appear on CD for the first time, alongside previously unreleased tracks.
Def Leppard’s current line-up frames the collection
Def Leppard are a Sheffield band whose sound spans melodic hard rock, heavy metal and arena rock. The current five-piece comprises Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Rick Savage, Vivian Campbell and Rick Allen. That line-up links Volume 4’s current presentation with studio work, live recordings and demos from across the band’s catalogue.
Joe Elliott’s curatorial role is reflected in the rarities material, which moves between performances, demos, alternate versions and collaborations. The collection therefore places polished album work beside recordings that document different stages of the band’s creative process. Its three main albums remain at the centre of both physical editions.
Volume 4 pairs archival recordings with physical extras
Volume 4 also includes a cover of The Beatles’ Revolution, which the band’s official collection announcement identifies as part of its rarities material. EMI’s listing names new mixes of Personal Jesus and Heroes among the additional recordings.
The box includes a hardback book with Ross Halfin photography, new interviews with the band and liner notes by Paul Elliott. Those printed elements accompany the six-CD and 11-LP editions rather than forming a separate release. The two physical formats share the 13 November 2026 release day.
