A limited edition Japanese version will host an extra track, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes interviews and music videos.

The finalized tracklisting for the album is as follows: 'Nine Lives', 'C'mon C'mon', 'Go', 'Love', 'Cruise Control', 'Bad Actress', 'Hallucinate', 'Tomorrow', 'Come Undone', 'Only The Good Die Young' and 'Gotta Let It Go'.

Recorded last year during month-long stints at lead singer Joe Elliott's Dublin studio, the album's title refers to a backstage area called "The Sparkle Lounge" on Def Leppard's 2006 tour where the band would go to write songs.

Tracks from the album have been described by the group as written in the style of 'Hysteria', with the production of High N' Dry.
