ACϟDC Discography Review

7.5/10 This period in the band's history is typically ignored, often without justification. In this video we examine and review AC/DC's first single LP that features Dave Evans on vocals.

The song in video, "Midnight/Tornado" by Skid Row is fair use under U.S. copyright law because they are (1) non-commercial, (2) transformative in nature, (3) uses no more of the original work than necessary for the video's purpose, and (4) does not compete with the original work and could have no negative affect on its market

7.5/10 ACϟDC's debut album was only released in Australia, and featured a compilation of songs that sound very experimental. There are a few glimpses of the style ACϟDC would eventually tune-in on but for the most part the Australian version of High Voltage falls short of the albums that would succeed it. This may be due to the frequent lineup changes during this time period, but that's for you to decide.

Release spread:
High Voltage [International] (Little Lover/She's Got Balls)
'74 Jailbreak (You Ain't Got A Hold On Me, Baby Please Don't Go, Soul Stripper, Show Business)
Backtracks (Stick Around, Love Song)

9.5/10 I have NO IDEA why the band would snub this release in favor of the International version of High Voltage. This is where AC/DC truly found their signature sound and decided to run with it. This version features extended versions of High Voltage, It's A Long Way To The Top. Rocker also has an extended solo on the vinyl release. This album is Phil Rudd's AC/DC studio debut.

Release spread:
High Voltage [International] (Every song except Rocker, School Days, and the original length versions of High Voltage and It's A Long Way To The Top)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap [International] (Rocker)
Bonfire (School Days, It's A Long Way To The Top original length)
Backtracks (High Voltage original length, Rocker Extended solo)

9.5/10 AC/DC's 1976 international debut is certainly a contender for one of the best hard rock albums out there. With that being said there are a few minor gripes I have with the structures of a few songs.

8/10 Here we find much better cut of what would be released internationally, but Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap nevertheless almost signaled the end of AC/DC due to an unhappy record label.

Release spread:
Dirty Deeds (1994 Atco Remaster) - All songs except Jailbreak and R.I.P.,
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (International) - All songs except Dirty Deeds (full length), R.I.P., Ain't No Fun (full length), and Jailbreak
'74 Jailbreak - Jailbreak
Backtracks - R.I.P. (Rock In Peace), Full length versions of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Ain't No Fun (Waitin' 'Round To Be A Millionaire)

7.5/10 While this is my least favorite AC/DC album of the Bon Scott Era, it still boasts some classics that have become staples in AC/DC's massive catalogue of hard rock masterpieces.

9/10 The definitive Live album that capped off Bon Scott's career wasn't released until nearly two decades after his death. This is a wonderfully produced album and has songs you won't find anywhere else in the Scott era, but some songs run on a bit too long with nothing really happening.

8/10 One of AC/DC's most energetic live efforts, this "Deluxe" edition boasts 9 new tracks. As this is an extended version of the 1992 album, it suffers from the same problems plaguing the original release. The tracks included are not from a single set, but many recorded in 1990-1991. This means that we are getting the best cuts but there is a lack of cohesion that accompanies this fact.

9/10 I came into this album expecting a rehash of Ballbreaker - Rock Or Bust, but that can't be farther from the truth. This album, the first released since the death of founding rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, incorporates many of the same elements that made AC/DC's recent albums so appealing, but the songs pack a punch that we haven't seen since The Razor's Edge, if not Flick Of The Switch.
