Def Leppard - Pyromania turning 40 (Dolby Atmos mix coming)
Date: October 06, 2022 01:41AM
I was listening to Ozzy's Boneyard on Sirius XM yesterday when the DJ said Giles Martin (son of George Martin) has been working on a Dolby Atmos mix of Pyromania. I know they did a promotional playback of Diamond Star Halos in Atmos, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of us don't have the "proper" audio setup for this format? Someone please educate me on Dolby Atmos.
No word on release date - and nothing official from the band yet - but Pyromania will turn 40 in January so I'm wondering if some sort of box set will be released? They've released the Live at the L.A. Forum concert from 9/11/83 but that's really the extent of any previously unreleased music from the Pyromania era.
Joe Elliott confirmed that back in the day they started work on an 11th song that would have ended up on Pyromania but it sounds like the idea never got fully fleshed out. So it's doubtful there are any completed unreleased studio songs from those sessions. There's always the possibility of someone doing some 12" remixes ala what they did in 1987 with Sugar, Excitable, Animal and Armageddon It. Otherwise, the band may be sitting on other live material from the Pyromania tour?
