The band revealed the final running order for the album on Instagram on 14th September.

Classic Rock recently revealed the front cover of the Limited Edition Fanpack released in the UK on 30th October.
The album recording started in February 2014 when the band thought they might record one or two songs for a possible online release.
They ended up with 12 in that first session and decided to make a full album. This countdown tells the story of the album over the 2014/2015 recording period as told by the band in various interviews.
A journalist posted another photo of the promo CD that has been sent out to the press around the world.

"For us it's kind of exciting because we're doing a lot of stuff that we've never really done before you know. It's the odd, kind of Merry Clayton kind of BV (backing vocals) like the Stones would use. Horns like they would use on certain songs. Just varying things up a little bit. But it's still essentially got the sound because we've - you know with our guitar sound and my voice it's an, it's a distinctive sound. And Rick's drum sound is a distinctive sound."

"Well as soon as I've got rid of this Bronchial infection that I've been carrying around for a month. I'm just gonna get back on the Leppard album. I've got vocals to do, we've got vocals to write, we've got vocals to sing that have been written. So I'm gonna get back in the studio as soon as I can which might even be next week for all I know."

"I don't know it's a good question because - it sounds like Leppard. It sounds like what Leppard should be doing at our age as well. It's a bit more - I don't wanna say mature. That's the worst fkin' word you can say. But it's certainly not a childish record. I mean there's a couple of songs on there that absolutely are typical Leppard anthemic things but there's a lot of cool stuff. Which is a lot more musical if you like and a lot more experimental if you want without being Jazz or anything like that."
