repeated about 30 times until the record finished playing with no fade out. High n Dry, es el título del segundo larga duración de Def Leppard, la banda británica que junto a Saxon, Iron Maiden y Motörhead, formó parte de la corriente musical conocida como la New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a principios de los años 80. The original vinyl record had the NO, NO, NO. Storm had intended to use the artwork for two Pink Floyd albums in the late 70s but it was rejected and ended up fitting the title of Leppards album. The cover art was designed by a group of artists called Hipgnosis led by Storm Thorgerson. The back cover of the album showed the song titles, the five band members head shots and around them the men from the front cover all looking down and smiling. 'Switch 625' by Steve Clark was the first instrumental the band had released. The first time the album has ever been released. The band will release the 'High 'n' Dry' album on Picture Disc 12' vinyl. The official list of releases for Record Store Day 2022 have just been announced and Def Leppard are included. This copy also had the title of the album in red. Def Leppard will release the High 'n' Dry album as a picture disc on vinyl for Record Store Day 2022. One of the pics showed Rick Allen naked and covered with shaving foam.
The first 20,000 copies of the original UK vinyl came with a picture inner sleeve featuring various backstage pics of the band in blue and center live pics from Reading 1980 with a pink colouring to them - Joe/Rick one side, Pete/Sav/Steve on the other. It featured the singles 'Bringin' On The Heartbreak' and 'Let It Go'. The first to be produced by Mutt Lange and with a very AC/DC-like hard rock sound. The second studio album released by the band.
