Story & Background
The 1976 ATCO edition of "High Voltage", the first international pressing intended to introduce AC/DC to the world outside Australia, is in fact a curious assemblage, almost a discographical 'Frankenstein'. Contrary to its name, this LP is not the international version of the eponymous 1975 Australian debut. Instead, it was meticulously compiled by Atlantic Records by selecting only two tracks ("She's Got Balls" and "Little Lover") from the true Australian "High Voltage" and integrating the remaining seven from their second Oceanic effort, the explosive "T.N.T." (also from 1975).
This strategy not only confused generations of fans and collectors regarding the chronology of the band's early works, but also served to showcase the best of Bon Scott and co.'s initial repertoire, creating an impactful record with the famous cover featuring Angus Young in a lightning pose, which became their global calling card. This editorial choice, a true discographical puzzle, makes this first ATCO pressing an essential and historically significant piece for any collector aware of the convoluted genesis of the AC/DC legend.
