AC/DC

I've been filling out my AC/DC collection.
Among the new artillary are '74 Jailbreak and Fly On The Wall. Both remastered versions.
'74 Jailbreak only has 5 songs on it, but they are really great songs.
The song 'Jailbreak' was originally on the 'Dirty Deeds' album, but left off of the American release.

Fly On The Wall, IMO is the last great album by put out by AC/DC.

1980 was a catastrophic year in the rock and roll world.
Not only did we loose drummer John Bonham of Led Zeppelin later that year, but on February 19, 1980, singer Bon Scott of AC/DC died due to acute alcohol poisoning after heavy partying the night before.
AC/DC found a new singer, Brian Johnson. Brain rode the magic carpet ride with the huge success of 'Back in Black', an album started by Bon Scott and the rest of the band, in which Brian helped finish. Back in Black is in tribute to the late Bon Scott.

Strangely enough, I have not considered getting Back in Black on CD until now.
I have 2 copies of it on vinyl.
Back in Black CD is en route. :)

This CD kicks ass. It's been YEARS since I listened to this and now I can't stop listening to it.
This CD is a real gem.
Every song on this disc is awesome.
Bob Marley was a staple in the tape deck of my van in high school....occasionally I did remove the Doors for other music. ;)

Bob Marley had cancer in his big toe. He refused modern medicine because of his Rastafarian belief that the body must be "whole".
The cancer metastasized through his whole body. When he finally sought treatment through modern medicine, it was too late.
He died May 11, 1981 at the age of 36. The world lost an amazing musician that day.

If you don't already posses some version of this album, you should.
It's a music collectors "must have". You don't even have to be stoned to enjoy it. B )
While you are at it, check out his buddy, Peter Tosh.
Tosh was a member of the Wailers until the parted company. He is talented too.
