Speaking about the release, frontman Joe Elliot said: "It is with a mixture of relief and euphoria that we now see our entire catalogue finally getting a digital release.
"Having embraced every other format with open arms, especially and more recently the re-emergence of vinyl, we’re now going to be available to everyone everywhere and honestly, it’s as exciting as the original releases were.”
Lead guitarist Phil Collen added: "We felt we'd been left out of the digital party, but it's a thrill for us to finally accept the invitation and to be able to say 'Yeah, you can stream us, download us and hear us on all digital outlets'."
Other songs the band is known for include Rock Of Ages, Two Steps Behind, Let's Get Rocked, Rocks Off, Photograph and more.

"After many requests from fans in the UK, I'm delighted that we can bring the whole Hysteria album to arenas across Britain and Ireland later this year," he said.
"From Women to Love and Affection, plus many other faves thrown in for good measure.
"Oh, and our old pals Cheap Trick will be there also to help with the celebrations. We can't wait."
