Story & Background
For an experienced collector, this 1978 Atlantic pressing of AC/DC's "High Voltage" represents a crucial piece, but one with a complex identity. The 1976 international edition, in fact, is not the eponymous 1975 Australian debut, but rather a strategic compilation. Atlantic Records assembled it with eight tracks, drawing heavily from the band's second Australian album, "T.N.T." (1975), including hits like "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", "The Jack" and "High Voltage" itself. Only "Little Lover" and "She's Got Balls" were taken from the true Australian "High Voltage". This record label move, a "best of" ante litteram, was fundamental in introducing AC/DC to a global audience, consecrating their sound and the famous cover featuring Angus Young as icons of international rock.
