By posting this here, are you saying Walmart is a good or bad trader/seller? :butt:

what are your thoughts on it Dan?

 

It's not bad... nothing stellar, but for $5.88 it's hard to go wrong. The interview snippets are about as useless as tits on a bull. The song choices, well I can see why most of these were left off the main album, although Space Oddity is a longtime favorite. Not sure why it didn't make the main album.

 

The covers are executed faithfully, almost too faithfully... nothing that sets them apart from the originals.

 

It gets an ultimate shrug from me...

Still the same, faithful is still better than "butchered" ;)

I think I paid like 4 and change last time I shipped a package to Geoff. I shipped probably twice the weight too.

Yeah, I don't think when I shipped to Geoff that it was all that expensive either.

DEF LEPPARD's all-covers album, "Yeah!", has entered the U.K. chart at No. 52 — the worst chart showing of the band's career, according to the data provided by Rockdetector.com. The following are the first-week U.K. chart positions for all DEF LEPPARD releases going back to 1980:

 

"Yeah!" (2006) - #52

"X" (2002) - #14

"Euphoria" (1999) - #11

"Slang" (1996) - #5

"Retroactive" (1993) - #6

"Adrenalize" (1992) - #1

"Hysteria" (1987) - #1

"Pyromania" (1983) - #18

"High n' Dry" (1981) - #26

"On Through The Night" (1980) - #15

 

"Yeah!" is said to be "a heartfelt and hard-rocking tribute" to DEF LEPPARD's musical heroes of the late '60s and '70s — THE KINKS, BADFINGER, T. REX, DAVID BOWIE, SWEET, ROXY MUSIC, MOTT THE HOOPLE, FREE, FACES, and THIN LIZZY.

 

DEF LEPPARD kick off a short European tour on June 3, after which they'll hook up with JOURNEY for a three-month-long North American tour that starts June 23 in Camden, New Jersey.
