Def Leppard are one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling over 10 million copies each in the US.

Other bands to have reached this include ‘The Beatles’ ‘Led Zeppelin’ ‘Pink Floyd’ and ‘Van Halen’.

Andie Airfix – “It was a typical Def Leppard brief, I was given virtually no information. The album was originally going to be called Animal Instinct, so I created a sleeve based around that. I was into the idea of having something turning around to look at you, so that illustration had an eagle, a lion and a shark which all blended into each other. Then they changed the title to Hysteria, so we had to literally rework things.

“The triangle was a recognisable image for Def Leppard fans, so that seemed a good starting point. Then it was just a case of creating something that was frightening in some respects. The full-on face we used is almost human, but the side view isn’t, retaining the animal aspect. The idea was that this thing turning around to face you made it scarier.”

“They trusted me; their input was basically limited to saying if they liked an idea or not. Maybe there were a couple of people who didn’t like it quite as much as the Pyromania artwork, but in the end they all recognised it was a strong cover, and really suited what the band were trying to achieve musically
