World Photography Day: 26 Songs About Photographs

26 SONGS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY! August 19th is World Photography Day. I started working on a blog idea two weeks ago and the past few days the pain has been so intense and I’d been waiting on results about a lump that I just couldn’t concentrate. I wasn’t in the mood to be listening to random songs I’d curated to see if I even liked them or not. So here it is late. Nothing quite like finding out it’s…

Def Leppard: The Def Leppard E.P. (1979)

I have no use for Record Store Day -- the music industry’s pathetic once-a-year event meant to stimulate ever-softening music sales -- because, for me, every day is record store day!

So I’ve never been one to celebrate, let alone partake, in this spurious marketing exercise aimed squarely at hipster scum ... until this year, when I chanced upon a deserted, newly opened Nashville music shop and effortlessly snapped up a copy of The Def Leppard E.P. you see here.

Quite frankly, I wish they’d reissued it as a 7” for that fully authentic touch, but beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to priceless New Wave of British Heavy Metal artifacts such as this one, dating back to January of 1979.

As I explained in my All-Music Guide review, so desperate were the young fellows of Def Leppard to escape a life sentence in the steel mills of their native Sheffield that they took it upon themselves to record and press this three-song E.P. on their own Bludgeon Riffola imprint.

Side one boasted the muscle-bound riffs of “Ride Into the Sun” (later redone for 1992’s Retro Active collection) and the kinetic “Getcha Rocks Off,” which along with side two’s semi-progressive “The Overture,” were later re-cut in more polished form for Leppard’s full-length debut, On Through the Night.

Here, in their original form, all three are a little rough around the edges, but all the more exciting because of it, and by the time the EP’s first pressing had sold out via mail order, Def Leppard’s ballsy resourcefulness had them vying with Iron Maiden and Saxon for scene supremacy and major label deals.

So the next time you hear Joe Elliott attempting to distance his band from the N.W.O.B.H.M. phenomenon, as he’s prone to do, take The Def Leppard E.P. out for a spin and you’ll have no doubt he’s either senile or full of shit.

More Def Leppard: "Hello America," On Through the Night, High ‘n’ Dry, Pyromania, Too Late for Love EP, “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak,” “Women,” “Animal,” Hysteria, "Armageddon It."
