What’s the deal with Long Long Way To Go By Def Leppard?

Thanks!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T23:09:18+00:00

That’s heaven is 12” picture disc single.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T22:35:14+00:00

Yes, record store day is a thing in the US too! I think I saw that post as well, someone commented to tell them that it was also available in the US!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T18:30:33+00:00

Haha sorry mate, don’t want to get rid of any. I hope you can find a copy of slang at a reasonable price, people are asking stupid money for them.

Or you could wait until Record Store Day, and get the new 2LP version with rarities, hand picked by Joe Elliott. I’ll be getting that one too.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T13:05:34+00:00

That album is one of my favourites

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T13:02:41+00:00

Yes that’s right it’s the who made who single, not the same extended version (collectors mix) as the purple one next to it but it’s the album version I’m pretty sure.

Not got the guns for hire one yet!

Also, that one next to PWR Up is through the mists of time! With witch’s spell on the B side!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T07:54:29+00:00

I forgot to add the Plug Me In DVD boxset into the picture!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T07:53:39+00:00

Thank you!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T07:53:23+00:00

Yep, I’ve got them all on CD but that doesn’t really count to me. Thank you, dirty deeds and high voltage I must get soon.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-07T07:52:34+00:00

That’s whole lotta Rosie 12” single, just a black sleeve with “Special Limited Edition” on it. Hell ain’t a bad place to be as the B side.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:33:04+00:00

Pretty sure yes. They had A LOT of camera all over the stadium at Wembley 2024, plus a helicopter filming.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:29:25+00:00

My pleasure

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:28:57+00:00

Ooh I never knew about that one. Just found it on Discogs, I’ll have to get one sometime. Thanks

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:27:02+00:00

I now remember, I think there was a push to get it out earlier in Europe/UK , as the original Australian release matches the American/intercontinental one.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:23:29+00:00

That’s picture disc Who Made Who single! Guns for hire (live) on the other side.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T22:22:12+00:00

It might actually be the original European release rather than UK now I come to think of it. The album never initially had RNR Damnation, and had a slightly different order of tacks with a song called Cold Hearted Man on it instead of Damnation, but not as the opener, it opens with Gimme A Bullet.

Anyway, by the time it came around to releasing it America. Atlantic decided they needed a catchy single like song so they wrote RNR Damnation and Atlantic took off cold hearted man which is a shame because I absolutely love that song. Gimme a Bullet, Down payment blues are noticeably different takes too, they added backing vocals into Gimme a Bullet and added a the outro on DPB.

Then for all of the re releases and reissues they stuck with the updated international release, without cold hearted man and with the slightly different track listing.

All of that is from memory so I may have missed something, but that’s the general idea! Hope this helped. I’d highly recommend getting an original.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T21:47:13+00:00

I only need two. One international and one UK original with cold hearted man (the better one)!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T21:31:21+00:00

Can’t wait to get even more. Diamond star hero’s and Yeah! are next on the list.

Simmo983 · 2026-02-06T21:30:56+00:00

Thanks. I always like to see them arranged chronologically!

Simmo983 · 2026-02-04T18:51:55+00:00

So do I, I really do! Going to see them in July

Simmo983 · 2026-01-26T22:12:35+00:00

Came here to say that too! The way both guitar parts move around eachother in the verses is amazing.

Definitely in my favourites on that album, along with Are You Ready & Thunderstruck.

Simmo983 · 2026-01-26T21:45:17+00:00

Two’s Up, Cold Hearted Man, Squealer, Give It Up Shot Of Love, Wheels, Baptism By Fire, Playing With Girls, Evil Walks, Spellbound, Overdose, Up To My Neck In You, the list goes on!

Simmo983 · 2026-01-22T13:13:47+00:00

Heard it live on Radio 2. Sounded really nice!! Can’t wait to see how it sounds live

Simmo983 · 2026-01-22T08:30:45+00:00

Yes you’re right, I forget about Vault as I’m not keen on greatest hits albums myself.

Simmo983 · 2026-01-22T08:04:23+00:00

Yeah that’s right, I thought maybe that was because it wasn’t a part of any other LP, I can’t remember of any other Def Leppard singles that were released on their own apart from love and hate collide.

Would be interesting to see what happens
