This is an E.P.(extended play)live version of the song that was
released in August,1979 on the Atlantic Record label, and is one of the all time classic AC/DC songs. This also helped thrust these "boys from down-under" into the big leagues. With the songs "Highway to Hell", and "High Voltage, they also found themselves a place in the Hard Rock history books. The unfortunate side is that "Highway to Hell" was one of the last recorded songs for vocalist Bon Scott, who died after a long evening of alcohol consumption on February 20,1980.
This recording of "Highway to Hell" was taken from the Atco album "AC/DC Live". Recorded during the 1990-91 World Tour. The live version of "High Voltage", an exclusive to this release, was recorded at the Castle Donington Monsters of Rock Festival of 1991. This E.P. picture disc, was sold commercially though limited, and is fairly rare to locate. A guestiment on value would be between twentyfive and forty dollars, depending upon album wear and if sealed. |

The group was formed in 1973 in Sydney, Australia by guitarist Malcolm
Young(born January 6,1953 in Glasgow, Scotland) and his brother, guitarist
Angus Young(born March 31,1959 in Glasgow, Scotland). After an initial
single entitled "Can I Sit Next To You", the brothers moved to Melbourne.
There they met bassist Mark Evans(born March 2,1956 in Melbourne,Aus.),
drummer Phil Rudd(born May 19,1954 in Melbourne,Aus.) and the one time
drummer and the group's driver, Bon Scott(born July 9,1946 in Kirriemuir,Scotland).
Together they formed the early line-up for AC/DC, and recorded two albums entitled,
"High Voltage" and "TNT", both were released in 1975. The group went on to tour the
US and UK and produce an additional 6 albums before the tragic death of Bon Scott
on February 20,1980.
Brian Johnson(born October 5,1947 in Newcastle,England) was brought in to replace Bon Scott in March of 1980. Shortly after that, the group released the blockbuster hit "Back in Black". With over ten million copies sold in the US alone, "Back in Black" elevated AC/DC to their peak in popularity. With the years that followed and with major releases like "The Razor's Edge" featuring the song "Thunderstruck", and the LP entitled "Ballbreaker", AC/DC was never able to maintain the level of popularity that they experienced during the late 70's thru the mid 80's. |
