50 years of straight to the jugular rippers*, few bands get the blood pumping like ACDC.
*and dressing as a little schoolboy, fairplay for keeping that up, I’d have knocked that on the head two albums in at most.
Initially released in Australia in March 1977, a modified international version featuring the first appearance of the iconic AC/DC logo was unleashed that Summer. It’s said that while recording the solo on the title track, Angus’s amp overheated and caught fire!
To honour AC/DC’s 50-year reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, Columbia/Sony Legacy proudly announce that the band’s catalogue will be available as gold-coloured vinyl LPs. Each of these limited edition LPs comes with an album-specific 12”x12” print featuring new AC/DC 50 artwork, suitable for framing.
To coincide with the band’s shows at Wembley Stadium, AC/DC will open a Dive Bar at Vanguard in Camden from the 2nd to 8th July. The Dive Bar will be the ultimate way to connect and plug in with fellow AC/DC fans over the week, check out AC/DC memorabilia and pick up exclusive merch including some very special vinyl releases. Stay tuned for more details!
The second wave of AC/DC 50 releases includes six more classic releases. A final vinyl drop will follow later in the year.
