About this deal

Back in Black received positive critical reception at the time of its release, and it has since been included on numerous lists of "greatest" albums. These sort of generalisations are a bit dangerous, because technology changes the parameters considerably between the introduction of stereo in the mid sixties to the digital take over in the late eighties, but I think that they are pretty accurate for 1980. The inner sleeve shows black-and-white live pictures of the band members, except for Brian Johnson, who was new in the band at the time and hasn't performed yet with AC/DC. There are three strings of text in a circle around the circumference, each separated from the other by " • ".

My copy has the same issue as many others have reported, first 2 tracks sound fine and after that the quality declines. Its sort of an unwritten ideal to not stamp past 300 presses with a stamper, so if they stretch to 500 . Cover sleeve shows ringwear and shelf-wear (creasing around opening and paper rubbing on spine and edges. Produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the album was released on 25 July 1980 by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records.

Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. My particular favourites in this album are "Shoot to thrill" and "Rock and roll ain't noise pollution" as well as of course the song the album gets it's name from. If they stretch the life of the stampers too far, it will lower the overall standard of the entire issue, and it is just pot luck whether you get the first stamp, or the 500th one. In 1979, they paired with producer Lange and recorded their international breakthrough, Highway to Hell. Back in Black, Hells Bells, Shoot To Thrill, Given The Dog A Bone, What Do You Do For Money Honey, Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, Let Me Put My Love Into You, You Shook Me All Night Long, Shake A Leg, Have A Drink On Me.

By the late 1970s, AC/DC began to achieve significant popularity outside their native Australia, with high-energy live performances and a string of successful albums. Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.

Brian Johnson will never be quite the lyricist nor vocalist compared to Bon Scott but he does a damn fine job paying tribute to the legends demise. The 'Product' page will show the most up to date info we have with regards to the item and its release date, but this information is subject to change so check in with us if you have any questions.

Many surface scuffs and light scratches which cause light noise throughout, much more noticeable in quiet parts and in between tracks. The only reason that I do not give this a 10/10 is because there are 2 other albums in my collection that surpass it. Media has scuff marks and has a bump on Side 2, song 1 and there is a little surface noise but generally plays fine. AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Aussie presses are very very good, and they generally did not stretch the life of the stampers to far, because the population base was so small, they were not compelled to.This version has the speed shown as 33⅓ RPM with the text Made in UK immediately underneath on both labels. Especially the last track of each side, the distortion is unbearable, the high notes drown and the vocals become "raspy". I have to admit that I am biased in this review as its my type of music, but even so, I would recommend it to anyone, no matter if they just want it for casual listening or otherwise. I do have a better setup than Vasthope and considerably more vinyl so that makes me an authority on this.
