Def Leppard has released a previously unreleased cover of The Beatles’ “Revolution,” offering the first preview of the band’s upcoming “Volume 4” box set. Titled “Revolution (Abandoned TV Ad),” the recording was originally made for a television commercial but was never used or released. The track is now available on streaming services ahead of the collection’s Nov. 13 release; stream: HERE.
“Volume 4” is the fourth installment in Def Leppard’s planned six-volume series documenting the band’s recorded output. The collection spans the group’s studio work from 2015 through 2023, bringing together the self-titled “Def Leppard,” 2022’s “Diamond Star Halos” and 2023’s “Drastic Symphonies,” which was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The set also includes three discs of rarities curated by singer Joe Elliott, featuring demos, alternate versions, live recordings, collaborations and other previously hard-to-find material. Among the additional tracks are a 2026 mix of “Personal Jesus,” a 2026 mix of David Bowie’s “Heroes,” “Bad Motor Scooter” featuring Sammy Hagar, “Helen Wheels” from “The Art of McCartney” and “Drive In Saturday” with Mike Garson.
“Volume 4” will be issued as a limited-edition six-CD set and an 11-LP 180-gram vinyl box set. Both editions include the albums in their original packaging, while the box sets also feature a hardback book with photography by Ross Halfin, liner notes by Paul Elliott and interviews with Elliott, Rick Savage, Rick Allen, Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen.
