Single Notes By dltourhistory
The second single from 'X/Ten' was released in April 2003.
'Long Long Way To Go' was the first ballad released as a single in the UK since 'Goodbye'.
The single was only commercially available in the UK and in some European countries like Germany.
It reached number 40 in the UK charts.
The single was released with an enhanced CD1 and for the first time a DVD single.
The promo video features an end mouse scene only found on this DVD.
A shorter version was later included on the 2004 'Best Of' collection.
Two new tracks were included as B-Sides plus an acoustic live version of 'Now'.
One of the new songs called 'Gimme A Job'... featured a guitar solo by Joe Elliott.
The song was only released in the UK on the DVD single.
The lead track was the radio edit although not mentioned as being one on the credits.
Enhanced Video/Audio/DVD Single
The UK CD1 was enhanced with the promo video which was also used on the DVD single.
A black screen appears with a promo pic of the band in the center of the screen and the video with control options in the middle.
The video is an 40.1mb .mov quicktime file.
The promo video is the UK version of the video that contains the 3:59 radio edit version of the song but runs slightly longer after it ends and has the slightly odd 'mouse' scene.
The mouse comes through a hole in the wall and a voice says "Hey is that Def Leppard?".
This scene was cut from the version of the video used on the 2004 'Best Of The Videos' DVD.
The DVD single also contains four 30 second video clips of 'Now', 'Pour Some Sugar On Me (UK Version)', 'Animal' and 'Hysteria'.
The UK promo CD also featured a radio edit.
It came in a custom slim digipak, the same cover as the UK CD1 single.
Another radio edit promo CD-Acetate was released in a white Mercury paper sleeve with the titles in black on the front.
In May 2003 a German CD single was issued featuring the radio edit and 'Gimme A Job' - it's only known release on CD.
The single was initially announced online on 24th January 2003 with three other tracks among the B Sides.
These were - 'Hysteria' (live acoustic on German radio 2002) and 'LLWTG' and 'Now' (live in Japan 2002).
In the end these three songs were not included as part of the singles set.
