Def Leppard History.

On This Day in Def Leppard History - 4th June, the following concerts and events took place. Including the release of the re-recorded versions of Pour Some Sugar On Me and Rock Of Ages on this day in 2012.

These new versions were released as digital downloads via iTunes/Amazon (along with the 1988 PSSOM video). They were recorded due to the dispute with Universal records and to capitalise on the 'Rock Of Ages' movie release.
