Remastered re-release of the 13th Australian and 12th international full-length studio album by the legendary Australian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
It was the band's first studio album in five years, since “The Razors Edge”, and is also the band's final album of the 20th century. The album featured the return of former drummer Phil Rudd, who had been fired from the band in 1983 as a result of drinking and drug problems and a fight with founding rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young.
In over 20 years, AC/DC never changed their minimalist, bone-crunching Hard Rock. During their first ten years, that wasn't a problem, since they were still finding ways to expand and subvert the pattern, but ever since "For Those About to Rock", they had trouble coming up with consistent material. Consequently, their performances tended to be a little lazy and their records didn't deliver a reliable knockout punch. Released in 1990, "The Razor's Edge" showed some signs of life, and their comeback culminated in the Rick Rubin-produced "Ballbreaker". What makes "Ballbreaker" different than the albums AC/DC churned out during the '80s is simple, it's a matter of focus. Although "Hard as a Rock" comes close, there aren't any songs as immediately memorable as any of their '70s classics, or even "Moneytalks". However, unlike any record since "Back In Black", there are no bad songs on the album. Surprisingly, Rubin's production is a bit too dry, lacking the muscle needed to make the riffs sound truly earthshaking. Nevertheless, Angus Young's riffs are powerful and catchy, showcasing every element that makes him one of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal's greatest guitarists. Throughout the album, the band sounds committed and professional, making "Ballbreaker" the best late-period AC/DC album to date!
The album placed #1 in Australian ARIA Albums Chart, #4 in Billboard 200 and #6 in UK Albums Chart, and currently certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in the US, for sales in excess of 2000000 copies.

Another documentary DVD in discography of the legendary Australian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
With grit and determination AC/DC rose from a small rock scene in Australia, developed a powerful and dynamic sound like no other and succeeded in taking the music world by storm - to date they have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide - their groundbreaking album "Back In Black" rightfully holds the record as the second highest selling album of all time.
"AC/DC: Dirty Deeds" boldy highlights one of the most influential Rock bands in history, exploring its incredible impact on the music scene and passionately detailing the 40 plus years of Hard Rock celebrated by audiences around the world. Thoroughly up to date with releases including "Black Ice" and the "Iron Man 2", it is supported by illuminating interviews with AC/DC biographer Malcolm Dome, Jerry Ewing of Classic Rock Magazine, Entertainment Editor Richard Wilkins, Rock Historian Glenn A. Baker and AC/DC ex-manager Michael Browning. Also featuring rare and classic archival footage of the band, from their extraordinary debut on Australian live TV performing "Baby Please Don’t Go" on ABC’s Countdown in 1975, through to hit songs "Highway to Hell", "Hells Bells", "Thunderstruck", interviews with Angus Young and Brian Johnson, this thoroughly researched program leaves no stone unturned, describing AC/DC as the true titans of Rock and Roll!

Remastered re-release of the ninth full-length album by legendary Australian Hard’n’Heavy Metal band.
After having worked with Mutt Lange for three hugely succesful albums, AC/DC decided they could produce an album theirselves. They did a pretty good job on this one. At this point of their career, they knew what kind of sound they wanted, and came pretty close to nailing it. It may be a little underproduced, but it still sounds really good. It's better than being overproduced.
The lyrics, as always, are classic for AC/DC - Sex, Drugs and Rock 'N' Roll. This is where Brian Johnson began to reach the first low point in his career. On a few songs, you hear him forcing a few notes, but that's it. They still sound like the Brian Johnson of "Back In Black". For him, it went downhill for the Simon Wright albums.
This is the last Phil Rudd album before "Ballbreaker". Phil is a great drummer and one of the best time-keepers in Rock. AC/DC definitely missed him during the rest of the 80s.
This album is like a "Powerage" of the Brian Johnson era. It doesn't have many radio hits on it, but it is a fan favorite, like "Powerage"! It will show you another side of AC/DC, a less mainstream side!!
The album reached #4 in UK and #15 in the US, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for a circulation of more than 1000000 copies.

Remastered from the original master tapes re-release of ninth Australian and eighth internationally released full-length studio album by the legendary Australian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Followed the highly successful "Back In Black" and "For Those About To Rock" albums, "Flick Of The Switch" is the third AC/DC album to feature vocalist Brian Johnson. Recorded shortly after their 1982 European Tour at the beginning of 1983, the album was originally released with little promotion in the US on 15 August 1983.
When AC/DC first began to lay down plans for recording their ninth studio album, their career was at its absolute commercial peak, flying high on the world-beating success of 1980’s flawless "Back In Black" and its worthy successor, "For Those About To Rock". Both albums had kept the band touring and/or working for nearly two years straight (and the human toll would soon be felt in drummer Phil Rudd‘s sad exit), so once they finally found the time to reflect on their next move, the Australian Hard Rock heroes decided it was time to go back to basics.
Fatefully, after three albums working with studio perfectionist Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the band decided to produce "Flick Of The Switch" themselves in a concerted effort to strip their songs of any lingering studio polish. To that end, AC/DC spent less than a month recording 10 new songs, and later drove their point home with the help of a spartan, startlingly white cover art, featuring nothing but a pencil sketch of Angus Young preparing to flick that giant electric switch.
The best thing one could say in "Flick Of The Switch"‘s defense is its quasi-religious bid for simplicity makes it the Brian Johnson lineup’s equivalent of "Powerage". The final verdict on "Flick Of The Switch" was frankly handed down by AC/DC fans, who barely saw fit to nudge the album towards Platinum sales over many slow-selling years to come, thus falling well short of the multi-Platinum thresholds established by its predecessors.
The album reached #4 in UK and #15 in the US, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for a circulation of more than 1,000,000 copies.

Remastered re-release of the first internationally-released full-length album by the legendary Australian Hard Rock band.
It contains tracks from their first two Australia-only issued albums, “High Voltage” and “T.N.T.” (both from 1975). Originally released on Atlantic Records, this edition of “High Voltage” has proven popular, selling 3000000 units in the US alone. The international release included only two tracks from the original release, with the rest of its songs being pulled from AC/DC's second album “T.N.T.”. The international releases of “High Voltage” also had different album covers from the original: one features a picture of Angus Young as he appeared on the cover of the Australian single for "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)". An alternative cover was used on the international version's European release. However, initially the album was panned by some critics upon its release, including a review by Rolling Stone magazine's Billy Altman that called it an "all-time low" for the Hard Rock genre. It was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

Third remastered re-release of the sixth Australian and the fifth internationally released full-length studio album by the legendary Australian Hard’n’Heavy band.
"Highway To Hell" is the final album of AC/DC recorded with Bon Scott, the lead singer who provided the band with a fair share of its signature sleaze. Just months after its release, Scott literally partied himself to death (the official cause cited as acute alcohol poisoning) after a night of drinking, a Rock & Roll fatality that took no imagination to predict. In light of his passing, it's hard not to see "Highway To Hell" as a last testament of sorts, being that it was his last work and all, and if Scott was going to go out in a blaze of glory, this certainly was the way to do it. It's tempting to say that Scott might have been prescient about his end - or to see the title track as ominous in the wake of his death - trying to spill it all out on paper, but it's more accurate to say that the ride had just gotten very fast and very wild for AC/DC, and he was simply flying high.
After all, it wasn't just Scott who reached a new peak on "Highway To Hell"; so did the Young brothers, crafting their monster riffs into full-fledged, undeniable songs. This is their best set of songs yet, from the incessant, intoxicating boogie of "Girls Got Rhythm" to "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)". Some of the credit should also go to Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who gives the album a precision and magnitude that the Vanda & Young LPs lacked in their grimy charm. Filtered through Mutt's mixing board, AC/DC has never sounded so enormous, and they've never had such great songs, and they had never delivered an album as singularly bone-crunching or classic as this until now.
Album was originally released by Albert Productions, who licensed the album to Atlantic Records for release outside of Australia. On 25 May 2006, “Highway to Hell” was certified 7x Platinum by the RIAA. In 2003, the album was ranked number 199 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Second remastered re-release of the first official live album by Australian Hard Rock legend.
While most other rock bands of the era were busy experimenting with Disco or creating studio-perfected epics, AC/DC was one of the few specializing in raw and Bluesy Hard Rock, as evidenced by 1978's live set, "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)".
The album was recorded live during the 1978 Powerage Tour and contains live versions of songs from "T.N.T.", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Let There Be Rock", and "Powerage". It is the last Bon Scott-era AC/DC album produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, who also produced the band's first five studio releases. AC/DC's concert at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 April 1978, was used for the bulk of the recorded material that appeared on the album. It can be clearly heard during "The Jack" when Scott exclaimed "Any virgins in Glasgow?". This concert will also be remembered for the encore when AC/DC came back on stage dressed in the Scottish Football strip. The songs "Dog Eat Dog", the encore "Fling Thing" and the final part of the concert (the reprise of "Rocker") were also performed during the night of the concert but eventually removed from the album. The live rendition of "Dog Eat Dog" was released as the B-side of the single "Whole Lotta Rosie/Dog Eat Dog" in November 1978. It was later released worldwide on the 2009 Box Set "Backtracks". The songs "Fling Thing" and "Rocker" (with its complete guitar solo) appeared only on video releases.
A song with the same title, "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)", appeared on AC/DC's next album, "Highway To Hell".
The album was listed at #2 on Classic Rock magazine's readers' poll of "50 Greatest Live Albums Ever".
“If You Want Blood (You've Got It)” captures the band at the height of their powers with Bon Scott at the helm. This is a great straight ahead Rock album that features some of the best songs from the bands early years, played at maximum volume and energy. Great live album!!

Second remastered re-release of the fifth Australian and fourth international full-length studio album by Australian Hard Rock band.
Powerage was a first in the sense that it debuted bassist Cliff Williams, but it really is more of a final curtain to the band's early years. It would be the last produced by Vanda & Young, the legendary Australian production team who also helmed hits by the Easybeats, and it was the last before AC/DC became superstars. As such, it's perhaps the most overlooked of their '70s records, also because, frankly, it is the most uneven of them. Not that it's a bad record - far from it, actually. There are a few genuine classics here, most notably "Down Payment Blues" and "Up to My Neck in You", and there's a real appeal in how Bon Scott's gutter poems of excess are reaching a mythic level; there's a real sense that he truly does believe that Rock & Roll leads straight to hell on "Rock 'n' Roll Damnation".
This is the first AC/DC album to be released nearly simultaneously in both Australian and international markets, and the first to use just one cover image for both. It was also the first to feature the same track listing on all versions, with the exception of the European vinyl edition (specifically, the first UK pressing of the LP). This version included "Cold Hearted Man", a song that was not previously released, and would not be released on any other AC/DC album until 2009's AC/DC “Backtracks” box set.
Album reached No. 133 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart in the US, eventually going Platinum there. In 2005, “Powerage” was ranked number 325 in Rock Hard magazine's book of “The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time”. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. 26 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".
“Powerage” was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

Re-release of the 14th Australian and 13th international full-length studio album by the legendary Australian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
The album has a much Bluesier and Rock’n’Rollier feel, giving the listener the impression that AC/DC has built something of a bridge between its original and newer sound. The big improvement seems to be the production value. The guitars and vocals seem crisp and clean, and the Blues element works in perfect harmony with the power that AC/DC conjures.
The beautiful thing about this album is how solid it is. Not a weak spot to be found through the twelve songs. You don’t get blazing fast, balls to the wall AC/DC, but you get a band with great rhythm and sound. This is one of their finest albums!!
The album is currently certified Platinum in the US, Canada, Australia, UK and Switzerland.

Remastered re-release of the first compilation album by legendary Australian Hard Rock band.
"Who Made Who" is a compilation of tracks recorded from 1976 to 1985, with three new songs recorded specially for this album. "Who Made Who" was the official soundtrack of the Stephen King's movie "Maximum Overdrive". AC/DC was already the biggest band in the world, when master horror writer (and huge fan) asked them to contribute music to his 1986 film. Filled with nightmarish images of cars, trucks, jukeboxes, and all other types of heavy metal machinery coming to life, the film was perfectly suited to the take-no-prisoners Rock of AC/DC. Contributing 3 new songs to the film, as well as 6 certifiable Rock classics, the soundtrack also re-ignited interest in AC/DC's catalog and made "You Shook Me All Night Long" a staple at MTV.
The original LP includes a remixed version of "Shake Your Foundations" (which was made for a radio airplay 12" promo in the US at 1985), but all CD pressed up to 2000 featured the original mix from "Fly On The Wall", except those released in Australia. The Sony CD remaster of 2003 re-instated the remixed version.
Who Made Who reached #11 in the UK and #33 in the US, and has sold 5,000,000 copies in the US.
Digitally remastered from the original mix-down 2-track master tapes at Sterling Sound.
