First Strike is an EP released in 1985 by British hard rock band Def Leppard. The release contributes 7 tracks, 4 of which were released on their debut, all from their early days. These are the only recordings with their original drummer, Tony Kenning. The front cover shows a map of the United States with rips from a leopard's claw (you can see the left front paw.) The back cover contains this message written by producer Frank Stuart-Brown: "This collection of early tapes proves the talent of five teenagers who took Sheffield and the rest of the U.K. by storm in 1979. These tracks established them as clear leaders in the resurgence of heavy metal rock and led to a first rate record deal which they are currently enjoying. This album is dedicated to the band and to the many fans that have made them the big stars they are today." "Answer to the Master", "When the Walls Come Tumbling Down", "Wasted", and "Sorrow is a Woman" were all rerecorded and released on Def Leppard's debut record: On Through the Night. Released: 1985 Recorded: Fairview Studios, Hull, United Kingdom, 1979 Producers: Frank Stuart-Brown, Peter Martin Engineer: Roy Neeve Re-Mix: Hank's Basement Lodge Studios, Cologne, W.

Thanks for the great info Gabriel, been a fan of early DL starting with OTTN but I had never heard they had a different drummer. Do know why Tony left the band?
Wow, just stumbling on this. Holy smokes, they were really good when they were young. Imagine stumbling on them as a producer back then, GOLDMINE! Thanks for posting, really, really enjoyed this, being a U.S. fan for so long to hear earlier tracks. Makes me wish was was in the UK as a kid, supporting all their early gigs.
Really cool to hear these early tracks. Their first three albums were great all the way through. 0:00 Heat Street 2:48 Answer To The Master 6:09 See The Lights 9:41 When The Walls Came Tumbling Down 13:22 Wasted 16:47 Sorrow Is A Woman 20:31 Glad I'm Alive
@@michaelcorcoran8768 He didn't play on the first strike album. Tony Kenning their original drummer did then he got booted from leppard. Then rick allen replaced him.
awesome ep from def leppard and before their debut album. and was with the first def leppard drummer Tony Kenning but he was only drummer on this ep. great ep though i love this. so raw. and one of the new wave of british heavy metal bands. #nwobhmforever
I know the original release credited Rick Allen, but does anybody know for certain who the drummer was who played on this demo? Tony Kenning was the original drummer but he had already left prior to the recording of The Def Leppard EP in '78, so they used a session drummer Frank Noon for that & offered him the gig but he declined, which is when they got Rick Allen onboard. This demo was recorded in '79 ahead of 'On Through The Night', as it was what got them the deal. The history books state Frank Noon only did the EP so if this is Rick's debut recording it is surely his greatest performance from a drummer's perspective (playing wise not production) & he was only 16-17! He sure proved himself here. To me the only Def Leppard that matters is the Pete Willis era. Steve Clark RIP
First Strike was released by their original management under Frank Stuart Brown in retaliation against Leppard who was fired by Def Leppard and replaced with Prime Management who produced AC/DC recommend by Bon Scott. The album came out in 1983 and was released as a dedication to the original lineup with Pete Willis on lead guitar. These were studio demos.some never made On Through the Night LP which was the album under Frank Stuart Brown. There were few copies left out there as Joe Elliot and the members from 1983 sued Brown for illegally releasing this album without permission from the band. It’s very rare and hard to find. It’s still worth owning.
I remember this was sold at Tower Records like their other LP records but very soon it was away as it's not an offcial and they might think it's risky to keep selling copies.Guess it is a Belgium made.
This isn't an official def leppard record. I forget the story behind it. Crazy how young they were. Most 16 year olds today live in front of the game controller.
I love this demo album. First Strike was issued commercially in 1984 but the band pulled It from the market due to legal complications Cause apparently It wasn’t authorized. Joe says he hated the way that it sounded.....well if you compare it to Mutt Lange productions yeah I can understand but the songs on this demo sound better than those that appear on On Through The Night. The Sorrow versión her kills the official release......actually all the versions here sound incredible. They should really release it because it sounds like a band that doesn’t need a slick production to kick ass.
3 observations from someone who's liked them from 1980 and only up to Pyromania. Rick Allen's triplets are amazing on track 2. The "Walls" version here shoulda been on the finished album. And there's too much phaser through Pete's guitar on Wasted.
😱, I 💘 these Demos,outtakes and extras on this video.As Im a Huge/Loyal/Die Hard Def Leppard Fan.I think Im gonna to listen this really often along with my other videos that I 💘 to listen to.
Good to hear this again. I found a copy of this on vinyl in a record fair in Liverpool. I believe Def Leppard had there lawyers stop the sale of it around the time they were recording what would be Hysteria.
For me too! it's the very first time i heard this "unknown" album > the music style seems alike than their first albums, by listening the first songs... :) Quite good!
Thanks for sharing. I never hear about this, just the three song EP. (Once, ages ago, I heard of an EP called Lucky Strike that they supposedly were trying to bury.) I like Joe's vocals better on this version of Wasted than the LP.
def lepperd is an awesome band but this dont sound like there normal selfs in this like they went in there and was told what to do and they just did it
+DefLeppard1221 exactly, if they haven't sold out, they would easily become the greatest NWOBHM band in history..... even better than Iron Maiden...... if they still played their music the same way they did on "High N Dry" or "Pyromania", they would release much more metal masterpieces and become one of the best Heavy Metal bands of all time probably......
They never sold out... they had to pull it back a bit because of Rick Allen losing his arm. Their first few albums are typical NWOBHM... and they still record tracks true to their style here and there. A truly great band!
I own the album which is an LP not an EP. I don’t think Tony Kenning was listed just Rick Allen. It might be 1985 but I remember 1983. In any case it’s irrelevant as it’s a gem.
Either I was high, or something is a miss on date's, I was in high school, graduated in 82, first saw def in Davenport Iowa, with Rick Allen, I know I was still in high school, got the pics to prove.
The riff that comes in after like 8 bars for heat stream sounded familiar, and I realized it’s very similar to some parts in Lady Strange. Definitely had to be a original Steve Clark riff.
Back in the 80s I found several cassette copies of First Strike in a department store's cut-out bin for like $4 each. I bought one copy and have been kicking myself ever since. I should have bought every copy in the bin.
I know it's weird,but I like that between songs you can here that "fuzzy" sound you hear when an LP is on the turntable -I close my eyes and I'm 14 and back in my bedroom jamming out.
I bought this ep cd 10years ago I'll still have it A cherished Def Leppard classic I forgot how Powerful Rick Allen sounded with his left Arm Long live the one and only THUNDERGOD!

brandonedgerarities its kind of a demo. 25,000 copies? I doubt that.anyway im sure you know on through the Night most of these songs are on there (for those of you who don't know that)
I liked them before OTTN came out and was disappointed in the production/mix of the first album. Their EP's were much more rock orientated. I found it all a bit girl-centric American and walked away. Rocks Off and wasted were the greatest, even The Overture was better on the EP, without the heavy handed American radio friendly mix that the album went for.
Def leppard was and still is a great band, even their less popular albums are better and more interesting than 80% off the other rock/metal albums that came out in the last 35 years, their highlight was with the album hysteria, so i'm talking about all the albums that came after, this band had hard times, the accident of the drummer that left him with one hand only, the death of steve clark, but they continued and made it big, this band had a great potential from the beginning and they fulfilled it entirety, cheers to you for sharing and cheers to def leppard, a fantastic band.
this album rocks you can only get the vinyl as the official release that band ended up suing label for doin it wihtout permission, CDs are only downloaded if ya buy em loving my copy of the vinyl signed by Rick Savage and Rick Allen its him who played on it not Tony Kenning who quit right before recording this and Def leppard EP Rick made it on this one but not the first EP
On Historia, the vid for Hello America, the intro(giving details of the record date, etc.), the question is: "See if you can figure out why Rick's drum kit is in front." It's been almost 30 years, and for the life of me, can't even guess. any ideas?? HELP!
I remember hearing Joe, I think, or one of the others say in a different video that it was the director's idea (again, I think) to do that. I guess he thought it was cool to do it that way? I also recall one of them saying that it was because the drummer was the one that left the stage first (a joke or serious? - I don't know) but that doesn't really make any sense to me. Either way, it seems a bit silly to me to have it front and center, but what do I know.
Thanks for the reply, dude! Same conclusions I arrived at. Never heard of the director's idea, but who knows? Maybe just doing something different to gain attention?
James Oberg I totally know what you are talking about and i have been wondering that since I saw that on the Historia video. I have no idea and would love to know. They ask the question as if you can figure it out but i have no clue and have never heard the band reference it.

this is a great album I like it! also R.I.P. Steve Clark.
Wow..never heard this before. Had no idea it existed. But it's definitely Lep. Can hear all of their influences in these songs.
all bands in some way are interconnected
Pretty crazy to think how young Rick Allen was especially
@@michaelcorcoran8768 He didn't play on the first strike album. Tony Kenning their original drummer did then he got booted from leppard. Then rick allen replaced him.
@@ChristianContemporaryMusic02Rick is on drums here
@RIPANDTEAR60 nice I thought Tony kenning did a take or 2. But maybe that was from a different recoding.
I have this on vinyl. :)
Love the old Def Leppard.
Thanks for sharing it on RUclips. It's a great opportunity for DL fans to listen to this great rock songs!
OMG it's good. See The Lights is best for me
Same here
I have never heard of this album - 33 years later, hearing it for the first time
this is def leppard when they rocked hard listen to on through the night they rock hard
I have this album but have never played it as I'm
A collector. Great upload
super !
Everything and everyone has their price. How much for it then?
@@RUDI-UK Hi, this is my second account.
I'll send you the record for £1,100. It has the original inner sleeve.
Thanks for sharing:) Never heard some of these songs...Awesome
awesome ep from def leppard and before their debut album. and was with the first def leppard drummer Tony Kenning but he was only drummer on this ep. great ep though i love this. so raw. and one of the new wave of british heavy metal bands. #nwobhmforever
Tony Kenning is on the 'Warchild' demo bootleg but 'First Strike' is Rick Allen. These are the very first recordings with Rick from the summer '79.
I was so young when this came out but it is an awesome album. Wished they would play some of their earlier albums.
I know the original release credited Rick Allen, but does anybody know for certain who the drummer was who played on this demo?

He sure proved himself here. To me the only Def Leppard that matters is the Pete Willis era. Steve Clark RIP
Yes, this is Rick for sure. In fact, this was the first time the band recorded with him in the summer of 1979.
two armed rick allen, the flying lead of pete willis; and steaming steve clarke !
Steve Clark (correct spelling)
The guitars sound amazing on heat streak
Saw this on cassette in Brownsville Tx mall it was on those special price section lol. They have another version with live tracks also a good score
25,000 copies circulated. Thanfully a few had passion enough to post this for us to enjoy.
Dean Andrews I still have mine!!!
My mom found it on vinyl in 1986 before it was taken off shelves! We still have it.

copykon check description 👍
Thanks, it brings back youthful memories. I had the cassette version back in the 80's.
You should have saved it haha it's a rare collectors item now. I'm still trying to get one
Oh my goodness, their sound changes with EVERY flippin' album!! I love it, love it, love it!! They are just SO bloody talented!!!!
I love this demo album. First Strike was issued commercially in 1984 but the band pulled It from the market due to legal complications Cause apparently It wasn’t authorized.

Early Def Leppard at their BEST and MOST EXPLOSIVE.
I have the cassette of this,bought it when it was released,I should of bought the vinyl also at the time because it was there also.
great, DEF LEPPARD see the lights, all right!
This should be official stuff, sounds really great, I would like someday they play this songs again especially answer to the master
Brings back my days of swigging Olde English on the back streets of Manchester waiting for the next rock band at the Apollo
❤❤❤ so amazing.. this album is still better than half the new music by new artists today😂
I saw Def Leppard in 2017 and Def Leppard
Played Glad I'm Alive in their set list,
Awesome LIVE Concert from Def Leppard in 2017
😱, I 💘 these Demos,outtakes and extras on this video.As Im a Huge/Loyal/Die Hard Def Leppard Fan.I think Im gonna to listen this really often along with my other videos that I 💘 to listen to.
So much nostalgia here...I think the last time I heard any of these songs (not counting the OTTN versions) was like 2004 or 2005
This version of Wasted with flanger is awesome
Good to hear this again. I found a copy of this on vinyl in a record fair in Liverpool. I believe Def Leppard had there lawyers stop the sale of it around the time they were recording what would be Hysteria.
It's still legal to sell it at fairs, you just can't sell it in an official store. Weird laws.
Was released in '84 by their former management to capitalise on the success of 'Pyromania'. 'Hysteria' came out in '87
D7J7W7: No, No, No was released on the high 'n' dry álbum, not on the OTTN.
+Rodolfo Ato - Ugh! You're right Rodolfo.... I meant HnD, thanks for waking me up!
super!
nothing special
Neither are YOU.
when did this come out? this is the first time i have heard this
DERSCHWARZE VOGEL This was released by the groups managers during the Pyromania Era. Pretty much a bootleg studio album of demos and outtakes
The White Lightning wow first time I listen to this -- thanks
For me too! it's the very first time i heard this "unknown" album > the music style seems alike than their first albums, by listening the first songs... :) Quite good!
1985
1985 it was a promo unlicensed I do believe
Thanks for sharing. I never hear about this, just the three song EP. (Once, ages ago, I heard of an EP called Lucky Strike that they supposedly were trying to bury.) I like Joe's vocals better on this version of Wasted than the LP.
That album cover is awesome!
I really like this album a lot good to hear so calm yet very good to hear
I've had the cassette tape for years.
def lepperd is an awesome band but this dont sound like there normal selfs in this like they went in there and was told what to do and they just did it
no that was basically hysteria and adrenalize and after, these are their true selves

Released in Belgium on Vinyl 85' and Japan / UK on CD in 97'

Esse sim e o Def Leppard original, e nao o generico. 👏👏👏 💛💛💛
Either I was high, or something is a miss on date's, I was in high school, graduated in 82, first saw def in Davenport Iowa, with Rick Allen, I know I was still in high school, got the pics to prove.
Really great album for them being so young, I'm still trying to find the X album without them being put down as individual songs.
When The Walls Came Tumbling Down Ufffff what a masterpiece .... my favorite song from this amazing Band.
The riff that comes in after like 8 bars for heat stream sounded familiar, and I realized it’s very similar to some parts in Lady Strange. Definitely had to be a original Steve Clark riff.
DEF LEPPARD. No llegando nunca a ser una banda de Heavy Metal...se situaron en la cima del Hard Rock mundial...larga vida a esta banda.
They sound like punks here, but in a good way.
God loves poets and punks too needed to mention it
Esse ep é muito legal, desconhecido.deve ser difícil achar em midia fisica
Joe Elliot was some what dissatisfied with his vocal performance with on through the night.high and dry was a quantum leap from its predecessor.
high 'n' dry, i miss you
Thanks for the download.
Love this group 💕🎶 keep up the good music 🎶🎶
This is my favorite group next to acdc ❤ you 👦 guys Joe's so 🔥 🥵
Frist. Time. Heard. This. Record.
That was awesome thanks for posting
First...and best strike!!!!
Back in the 80s I found several cassette copies of First Strike in a department store's cut-out bin for like $4 each. I bought one copy and have been kicking myself ever since. I should have bought every copy in the bin.
See the lights is them paying omage to rush
See the lights is so nice. If they had released would be a hit. The riff is so good
Some of their best songs! 🐆 🎸
First time for me as well. Thanks for uploading this. Of course, heard all these songs except for "Heat Street." Great upload.
it's sad to listen to this because we lost our brother Steve Clark way to early!
The first time I heard this, I thought Joe was singing "Sorrow is a gorilla".
I know it's weird,but I like that between songs you can here that "fuzzy" sound you hear when an LP is on the turntable -I close my eyes and I'm 14 and back in my bedroom jamming out.
i tried just this and it actually worked for me
and then i saw a cat
That is so true!!! How can this sounds take you back in time!!!!
Wow! Sure did a good job of original taping. I like Stripped down. I've been playing Early Split Endz. This sounds like heavy that.
I've managed to get me an original 1985 vinyl copy off of ebay a while back.
It cost a pretty penny but damn does it plays well and sound amazing.
I bought this ep cd 10years ago I'll still have it
A cherished Def Leppard classic I forgot how
Powerful Rick Allen sounded with his left Arm
Long live the one and only THUNDERGOD!
Love 💞💞😘 def Leppard great singers.
Yeahs!
