PTSD Awareness w/ Rick Allen & Wounded Warriors

Posted on by admin

Please help support Rick Allen & the Wounded Warrior Project as they aim to raise awareness for PTSD.

“Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) can affect anyone. I have incredible respect for the wounded warriors out there who are suffering from this, but know that its reach stretches to many others also. For me personally, I now know that I waited much longer than I should have to finally ask for help and begin recovery. I hope if you are suffering, you will find the courage to also reach out and ask for help. You can find hope. You can find that courage. You can get through anything.” – Rick Allen

Check out all versions and pre-order HERE

Frontman Joe Elliott says “It’s hard to believe that it’s been thirty years since the release of Hysteria…..In some respects it really does seem like only yesterday. So, to mark this milestone, we wanted to do something very special for our fans and give them the definitive version of the album, one that incorporates all of the memories and milestones that we caught on tape and some of the madness that we got up to on the road. We hope it means as much to you as it does to us.”

Added Phil Collen, “I look back at the whole Hysteria experience with excitement along with fond and tragic memories. It was our commercial zenith thanks to Mutt Lange’s insistence that we create an artistic hybrid between hard rock and pop top 40 music using every genre available as an inspiration. It was a rock album that would garner seven hit singles. Mission accomplished.”

Among the new versions, the Super Deluxe Edition boasts 5-CD/2-DVDs including four books—Story Of; a Ross Halfin photo book; Discography; Hysteria Tour Program and Tour Poster. The Deluxe Version features 3 CDs, the Vanilla Version is 1-CD, and the Vinyl Version is 2 Black LPs.  In addition, there will be a limited-edition, 2-LP Colored Vinyl available via D2C channels for the first time.
