Almost useless

If you are more than a casual AC/DC fan than you didn't even purchase this one- you had all these tracks on the original Australian CDs already. If you didn't have these then you aren't really a big fan of AC/DC. Don't get me wrong, the songs here are all great early AC/DC, but this is just a compilation and not a great one at that. Where are School Days, Crabsody in Blue, Fling Thing, Cold Hearted Man, Rock In Peace and the rest of the missing Aussie tracks? They should have at least extended this thing for the CD release to make it full length and truly worthwhile, but they didn't, therefore I have no use for this thing. Although I have RIP, School Days and Crabsody in Blue on CD I'd still like to have Cold Hearted Man and Fling Thing on Cd- not just crackly LP. A real chance to do something nice for fans but Atlantic blew it big time. None of these tracks are even on Bonfire!!!! What kind of stupidity is that? They just give us a concert that we all had on bootleg anyway!

If anyone said they didn't like this CD..........

This is soo underrated, it's not close to being funny. Believe me when I say that Back in Black is thier best work, but if this album had another 4 or 5 songs of these calibur, This would be 25 times Back in Black. This is also my personal favorite solo album... Each song has a swaggering bluesy solo where if you saw a 15 year old guitarist (Angus was 15 while they recorded these songs) play, you'd s h i t yourself.



Jailbreak - The most well-known track here, and deservingly. The riff is nothing short of brilliant, the lyrics genious and Angus's guitar playing at top-notch, as well as the rest of the band's.



You ain' got a hold on me - Sweet little tune, love the little riff. The lyrics are insanely genious and then the solo. This is my personal favorite solo of the CD. It the best solo, infact i think i have ever heard in my life time (Only behind that of the live version of Rocker on If you want blood).



Show Business - The opening solo is stunning, what kind of 15 year old kid was this?? The song is very old-school bluesy, with Bon's little magical touch, making it a kind of his own.



Soul Stripper - WoW, what a cool song. I love that bass playing at the beginning. This is also a very talented solo provided by Angus. Very cool lyrics.



Baby please don't go - I have heard many versions of this song, I thought Aerosmith's version was pretty impressive, but nothing compares with this. A masterpiece!!



If you like all of Bon Scotts stuff, but were doubting this because of stupid reviews, don't be fooled. This is alot of his best work.

Rock N Roll!

Got this brand spanking new from Fopp in Shaftsbury Ave for a fiver. I'd have been a bit pissed at having to pay a tenner for it, as it's an EP, really. First listen told me this was nothing on the sound they developed and made big time in the hard rock vein. This is a Rock N Roll thang. Very bluesy, and Bon actually sings a bit thanks to Young's chinkier and funkier sound, as opposed to the crunchy, nosebleed sound he popularised. 'Baby please dont go' is a track that was made for DC! The Booklet has some great early shots of the boys, and the back photo is a corker of Bon, with Angus scrutinizing him up close! Well worth a fiver.
