ACDC Backtracks - The Ultimate Box Set

What you get with AC/DC Backtracks Deluxe Collector's Edition Collectors Edition Box-Set: The 12"x12"x4" (30cm*30cm*10cm) exterior box is designed to resemble a vintage AC/DC guitar amp – complete with the original logo that was spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolm’s speaker cabinets in 1975. The “head” of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal the contents housed within. Oh yeah, the head is also a WORKING GUITAR AMPLIFIER! That’s right, one watt of pure AC/DC makes this box a truly unique collector’s item. You can PLAY the box set while LISTENING TO the box set! Check out the videos of Angus using the amp.

Well, it's a step in the right direction, as far as filling some of the gaps in the AC/DC catalog. But it's not the approach I would take.

What is needed is a total restoration of the first 4 Bon Scott era albums the way they were originally recorded.

As far as any rarities disc goes, if it doesn't contain the band's early singles with Dave Evans, it's not complete, though it is good to see some of these long bootlegged songs like "Carry Me Home" getting a proper release. How did that one get left off of "Bonfire" anyway??

[standin]

That's pretty cool~

[indeedido]

There is a video at the top of the page with Angus playing through the amp in the box set. Kinda like a little smokie. Cool idea

Look's cool !! I'm in.

You've been smiling lately baby
You've been singing in the bath
You've been acting like a lady
Not a dirty photograph
Then tonight you came home early
Packed a bag or two
It's been worrying me honey
Just what you're gonna do

Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around

Well you came on like a hurricane
About a month ago
Blowing like a stiff breeze
Always on the go
All the good times that we had
All stayed in the past
All the good lays that I get
Never seem to last

Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around
(Come on baby, sit on this)

What have I been doing lately
To make you wanna go
I take you out dancing
Honey we can go out to a show
Spend a night romancing
Nights out on the town
Listen to me baby
You'll be glad you stuck around

Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, babe, stick around.

[FORD]

And now for the song you would NEVER expect from Ac/Dc........

(yeah it's a cheese ballad, believe it or not. But still better than anything Van Hagar ever did)

[FORD]

Was this one ever released in the US? (other than the video on Family Jewels)

probably the best cover version of this song ever. And it's been covered by a lot of people.

I think it was on that odd '74 Jailbreak vinyl EP that came out in the mid-eighties.

[FORD]

I think it was on that odd '74 Jailbreak vinyl EP that came out in the mid-eighties.

OK, that makes sense as to why it's not on the new boxset. I never had that EP, since I had the original Australian "High Voltage" album, and the original Australian "Dirty Deeds", I didn't think I needed it. I knew that Jailbreak (obviously) and Soul Stripper were on it, but wasn't sure of the others.

And still unavailable in the US, even after this box set..... the pre-Bon singles with original singer Dave Evans.....

[Panamark]

Amatuer Vid is ordinary, song is worth hittin the play button

[FORD]

Marky,

Are there any AC/DC songs that are actually "rare" in Oz?

I know that "Love at First Feel" was on the US & Euro releases of Dirty Deeds, but not on the Aussie original. I'm assuming it must have been a "B-side" or something there?

[george]

I pre-ordered... dammit.. another $$ grab.

Why can't they put on DVD "Let There Be Rock"? That was one helluva live show..
