I have been out of the Def Loop for awhile. Not that there has been much to
keep up with. I'm aware of the new compilation. But a post I read earlier
mentioned the band had recorded a covers album? What is this, what's on it,
and when does it come out?

It was a joke. There's no album of covers available.

No it was not a joke. There have been numerous articles with various
bandmembers saying that an album of covers has been recorded. They just
aren't sure if/when it will be released. There was a joke played on
melodicrock.com about the covers album but it was based on fact.

Here's a few links about it. The first link (below) is from the official
Def Leppard web site in which Joe states:
" People are starting to get a bit excited about the content of the the
covers album. Hey, we THINK we have a title, but can we at least keep
that secret for a while please?). Since we all grew up collectively on
the British glam scene, which happened between about 1971 and 1974, it'd
be fair to say that the majority of the material comes from that period,
but there's a couple of exceptions."
