Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Bon Scott had already lived a rough life before AC/DC took off, including a serious motorcycle crash that left him rebuilding his path before becoming the bands voice.
2. Band Drama AC/DCs early years were driven hard by the Young brothers discipline, with the band run more like a machine than a loose rock group.
3. Media Narrative The albums title and attitude helped build AC/DCs dangerous image, but U.S. release delays also made it feel half-banned and more notorious than it really was.

2003 reissue on 180-gram vinyl LP. Aussie fans first heard this album in 1976, but American audiences didn’t catch it until it was slightly modified and released in 1981. Any way they cut it, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” was a huge hit. Written by original lead singer Bon Scott and brothers Angus & Malcolm Young, the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in 1981. Hits included the title track “Big Balls”, “Problem Child” and “Squealer.” The band’s early production team of Harry Vanda and George Young helped to craft this hard rock classic. This version is the superior sounding re-mastered 2003 reissue on 180-gram vinyl. Talk about high voltage! The boys are at their greasy, gritty, tawdry early peak, with diesel-fueled thundering guitars and take-no-prisoners attitude.
