AC/DC - The Early Years 1974-1977 (Full Album)

Worked on this album for a total of 6 months, from early December 2019 until May 2020. One of the biggest projects I've undertaken in a long time. This album contains AC/DC material from the earliest years, from the first single's to the last Australian tour with Bon in February 1977. All songs have been remastered and improved in terms of audio quality, or at least made somewhat audible. Its a mix of soundboards and audience recordings, so quality varies vastly in between shows.

Every concert on this album will be uploaded in full in the coming years on this channel. Notes: The Hampton Court Hotel is the oldest live recording of AC/DC available, recorded by Rob Bailey on a battery powered tape deck, hence the quality. This copy is sourced from Dave Evans copy of the tape. Stay For A While is either a Dusty Springfield cover or an original. The London Maida Vale Studios recordings are from the Peel Sessions. Might be copyright applicable so enjoy it while it lasts. London Paris Theatre is also just as heavily guarded in terms of copyright, so a lot of it can't be put on youtube by me. Birmingham Barbarella's is an upgraded version compared to my ARR entry a few months back, why? I realized that the tape was 4% slower than it should be a few weeks back while compiling the cut version of the gig for this album, so I will reupload the gig in its entirety at the correct pitch in the future. I'm A Rebel has been pointed out to be an Accept song/recording. And you'd be correct! The song was later covered by Accept, however it was also recorded with Alex Young, Malcolm, Angus, Phil, Mark and Bon in 1976. Reference and proof is from my AC/DC book written by Arnaud Dieux from 2006 "AC/DC Maximum Rock'n'Roll". Caley Cinema Edinburgh and Bundaberg Showgrounds are 2 concerts with only one song each having seen somewhat of a release. Still rare as tits but with mediocre sound quality. The performances are top notch though. Edinburgh Playhouse, does Angus really play Mark's bass? Its very possible! Bon clearly announces it before the song T.N.T ...
