Def Leppard "High 'N' Dry (2008 Reissue, Remastered, Japan, Limited Edition, Mini-LP, SHM-CD, Universal Music K.K., UICY-93451)"

High 'n' Dry is the second studio album by the English rock band Def Leppard, released on July 11, 1981. High 'n' Dry was Pete Willis' last full-time album with Def Leppard. It charted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 and No. 26 on the UK Albums Chart. "High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)", ranked No. 33 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs. Following the success of Pyromania, the album re-entered in the US chart and reached No. 72 in 1983.

High 'n' Dry was reissued on 31 May 1984 with two bonus tracks:
  • "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" (Remix), essentially the same recording with a few synthesiser overdubs. The remix was released in 1984 as a single, peaking at No. 61 in the US charts.
  • "Me & My Wine" (Remix), a remixed version of a 1981 B-side.

SHM-CD in a Mini-LP cardboard sleeve with obi, numbered double-sided photo print of vinyl labels, colour printed innersleeve, folded insert of Japanese release notes and lyrics in English, SHM-CD info sheet.

Tracks 11 and 12 only mentioned in inlay and on OBI-strip.
Tracks 11 and 12 remixed February 1984 by Robert John "Mutt" Lange (not mentioned anywhere).
On vinyl and cassette releases, "Me & My Wine" (Remix) is added to the end of side one, while "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" (Remix) leads off side two. On CD releases, "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" (Remix) and "Me & My Wine" (Remix) follow "No No No".
The last lyric, 'no', in "No No No" repeats infinitely on the original vinyl album release. The original cassette features "no" being screamed 46 times and then ending abruptly when the cassette finished. On later releases the no's simply fade out.

Videos for both were made, featuring Phil Collen (who was not in the band at the time of the album's recording). Both bonus tracks were omitted from the mid-1990s re-releases of the album.
