“Well, the fans asked, and we listened! Really excited to have our early years reworked with a load of rare material including the newly unearthed Live at the Oxford New Theatre, recorded on the 1980 UK tour," singer Joe Elliott said in a press statement. "It’s been a trip putting this boxset together and I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we did working on it! ”
