First Strike is a withdrawn DL album. The record contains seven demos. The majority of the record is comprised of five demo
recordings of songs that would all be revisited and rerecorded, in sometimes very different versions, for their first album.
The first and last song (Heat Street and Glad I'm Alive), have never been released anywhere else. These demos were
recorded in 1978 and 1979 Former managers Frank Brown and Pete Martin released the album without the band's consent in 1984.
The band took the two to court to remove the album from the marketplace, as they were unhappy with the recordings, and the judge
ruled in favor of the band. Even from the beginning, First Strike was questionable whether it was an official release or not, due to it being
released against the band's wishes. However, since the court case, First Strike has never been considered part of Def Leppard's
official discography and has been long since deleted. One of the rarest of British Hard Rock Albums. Quick shipping in the US for 4.00
