Story & Background
The iconic cover of "If You Want Blood You've Got It", with Angus Young apparently impaled by Bon Scott's guitar, is a true visual manifesto of AC/DC's raw energy. Contrary to what one might think, it was not the result of a simple photomontage, but rather of an ingenious practical stratagem. To create the image, the band commissioned the creation of a special harness worn by Angus, to which a modified reproduction of Bon Scott's Rickenbacker was attached, equipped with a fake, blunted blade. This artisanal solution, conceived by the group itself to capture the essence of their live performance and their uncompromising approach, amplifies the impact of an album which, in this 1978 Atlantic pressing, starts to bite even before the needle touches the vinyl, making it a collector's item with intrinsic appeal.
