Artist: DEF LEPPARD
Album: HIGH N DRY (CD)

Year: 1981/ 1984
Media type: CD

High 'n' Dry is the second album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music). Its title song "High 'n' Dry" made #33 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs.

Due to the success of Pyromania, High 'n' Dry was reissued on 14 May 1984 with two bonus tracks:

"Bringing on the Heartbreak (remix)", essentially the same recording with a few synthesizer overdubs. The remix was released in 1984 as a single, peaking at #61 in the UK charts. "Me & My Wine (remix)", a remixed version of a 1981 B-side. Its video parodied The Young Ones with band members playing the roles.

Videos for both were made, featuring Phil Collen (who was not in the band at the time of the music's recording). Both bonuses were deleted from the mid-1990s re-releases of the album.
