Def Leppard 1992

Def Leppard released their classic Make Love Like A Man single 30 years ago on this day in 1992 in the UK.

The second single to be released from the Adrenalize album.

It was released on 15th June 1992 reaching Number 12 and spending five weeks on the UK chart.

The song was well received by fans at the time but is now not considered to be one of their finest moments. A sentiment shared by Joe - read his quote below from a 2014 interview.

The CD single release featured three extra tracks - 'Miss You In A Heartbeat', 'Action' and 'Two Steps Behind'. All of these were later re worked and ended up as the three singles from the 1993 'Retro-Active' album.

'Two Steps Behind' was the first ever all acoustic song to be recorded and released by the band.

They performed 'Make Love Like A Man' on BBC TV show Top Of The Pops just ahead of the UK tour in June.

It made it's live debut on 19th May 1992 in Madrid, Spain during the opening show of the 13-Day club tour of Europe.
