Story & Background
This first pressing from 1977 on Atlantic of 'Let There Be Rock' holds significant historical importance, especially for the collector attentive to the details of the band's line-up. Indeed, it represents the last recording effort that featured Mark Evans on bass. The recording sessions at Albert Studios in Sydney were intense and contributed to defining the raw and uncompromising sound that the band desired. Shortly after its release and the start of the tour, Evans left AC/DC due to personal and creative differences, and was promptly replaced by Cliff Williams, whose live debut occurred as early as July '77. Therefore, this edition captures a crucial transitional moment, a true "last waltz" for a founding member and a witness to their original raw sound, before the classic line-up solidified for future successes.
