To celebrate the release of the deluxe edition of Def Leppard's 1996 classic album 'Slang', Stereoboard have three copies to give away in a brand new competition.
Originally released in May 1996, 'Slang' was considered Def Leppard's most underrated album. At the time of its release, the music industry was at the height of the 90s grunge scene and Def Leppard with bands like Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam were dominating the airwaves. Despite this musical shift, 'Slang' charted on the Top Five UK Official Chart and the Top 15 in the US on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart.
The 'Slang' reissue is available in 3 formats: a CD Deluxe Edition and Digital Edition containing the original 11 album tracks re-mastered and original rare bonus tracks made up of demos, alternate versions and mixes with a series of new songs recorded during the time the band was creating 'Slang'. Most of these additional bonus tracks have never been released. A special iTunes Digital Edition has everything from the Digital Edition, plus a further set of additional bonus tracks. A Double Vinyl Deluxe Edition features the original album, and its own set of exclusive songs.
