Overview
The debut album that started it all. A bold and electrifying collection of tracks that laid the groundwork for AC/DC to rise to the legendary status they are today. It’s raw and unapologetically unfiltered and that is completely part of the charm. Bluesy riffs are heard throughout which are electrified by Angus Young’s crazy guitar playing and perfect gritty guitar tone and the band overall are completely in their element here. This set the benchmark for what AC/DC was to sound like in the early days of their career.
Recommended for newcomer rockers looking to open their eyes to the history of rock n roll legends.

Its a little bit silly and that is exactly what AC/DC and this album in particular were in the early days. Angus Young on the cover perfectly shows what the band were all about and the lightning bolt is signature to the bands brand. Great cover.
