Def Leppard released two new tracks today exclusively on Spotify. The digital Spotify Single features the band’s classic hit “Hysteria” as the A-side and a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” as the B-side.
Spotify Singles are recorded at the streaming service’s studio in New York City and always include a new recording of an original track as well as a cover tune.
You can hear “Personal Jesus” and “Hysteria” now below.
Def Leppard’s release of a Spotify Single might be an indication that the band is making up for lost time with the digital service. Their catalog was only made available on Spotify this past January after the band finally came around to accepting the service but insisted on holding out for the right financial deal.
They are one of several classic rock acts who only recently embraced the streaming model. The Beatles weren’t available to stream until 2015 and Bob Seger released his catalog for streaming in 2017.
Def Leppard are currently co-headlining a tour across North America with Journey.
