From Peter Mensch

Bob

Couple of factual amendments to your excellent Def leppard post:

1. We never thought they were coming with us. I got fired by AC/DC during the making of For Those About to Rock (summer of 1981). As they had technically signed to Leber-Krebs (CCC), they then went to Krebs for a couple of months. When that didn't work, I think Leber did the last 3 months. Krebs and Leber technically managed them during the "For Those About to Rock album and tour. Cliff probably helped on the record. Their contract expired July 1 1982 and on July 2 they were gone.

2. Cliff and I got out of LK before April 1, 1982 (after some (ahem) legal issues with David and Steve and formed Q Prime on April 1, 1982.

3. Mutt also did the 2nd Def Leppard album. High 'N' Dry. Which was recorded and released while Cliff and I worked for Leber-Krebs. So when we left, we had one client and they were recording what would turn out to be Pyromania. It was their second album with Mutt.

Best
Peter
