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. :)
