Story & Background
This 1st pressing from 1984 of "74 Jailbreak" on Atlantic is a remarkable discographic curiosity for collectors and AC/DC fans. Although the title might suggest an older origin and the "74" recalls the year of formation, the EP was a specific initiative by Atlantic Records. Its purpose was to collect and present to the North American public iconic tracks featuring Bon Scott, which until then were almost exclusively on Australian editions. These were in fact taken from early albums such as *High Voltage* (1975) and *Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap* (1976) in their original Australian configuration. In particular, the eponymous track "Jailbreak" came from *Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap* from '76, while the other four tracks were from the first *High Voltage* from '75. This compilation filled a significant discographic gap, offering a valuable taste of AC/DC's rawer and bluesy roots. It allowed an entire generation of fans, who had not had access to these formative gems, to discover the origins of the band's sound. An essential piece, therefore, for fully understanding the evolution and global spread of their discography.
