AC/DC mp3

In November 1973, Malcolm and Angus Young started AC/DC, in which he played rhythm guitar and Angus played lead guitar. They recruited drummer Colin Burgess (ex-The Masters Apprentices), bassist Larry Van Kriedt, and vocalist Dave Evans. Altough they originally intended to have a keyboardist, the idea was dropped soon.[10] They played their first gig at a club called 'Chequers' in Sydney, Australia on New Year’s Eve, 1973.

In 1975, the band release a single originally written for the High Voltage album, "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", their perennial rock anthem, included on their second album T.N.T. which again was only released in Australia and New Zealand. Their next album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, was released in the same year. Like its predecessor, this album exists in both Australian-only and international versions, track listings varied worldwide and the international version of the album was a compilation of tracks from the band's existing Australian LPs. The original Australian version includes their popular song Jailbreak, which is now more readily available on the 1984 compilation EP '74 Jailbreak and the 1991 Live album. Dirty Deeds didn't reach the US until 1981 (after Bon Scott's death), when AC/DC were at the peak of their popularity. After the recording of 1977's Let There Be Rock, bassist Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams, who thereafter also shared background vocal duties with Malcom Young. Their sixth album, Highway To Hell, produced by Mutt Lange and released in 1979, that propelled them into the top ranks of hard rock acts; its anthemic title track is still a radio staple and is still widely popular in the U.S. This album was the first album not produced by Harry Vanda and George Young and the last to feature Bon Scott on vocals.

With Johnson, they completed the song-writing that was started while Bon Scott was still alive and began recording Back in Black, also produced by Lange. This became their biggest-selling album, a hard-rock landmark. The album's biggest hits were, "Hell's Bells", the title track and "You Shook Me All Night Long". The follow-up album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, released in 1981, also sold very well and was well received by critics.

In 1986, the group returned to the charts with the title track from Who Made Who, the soundtrack to Stephen King's film Maximum Overdrive. This album also included two new instrumentals along with previous hits, such as Hell's Bells and Ride On. In February 1988 AC/DC were inducted into ARIA Hall of Fame. The next album, Blow Up Your Video (1988) saw them reunited with their original producers, Harry Vanda and George Young. It had better sales than the band's two previous albums, scoring a British Top 20 single with "Heatseeker". The new album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn, who had worked previously with Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi. Released in 1990, The Razors Edge was a big comeback for the band and included hits "Thunderstruck" and "Moneytalks". The album went multiplatinum and went into the top ten in the United States and elsewhere around the world.

In 2003, Epic Records/Legacy Recordings released newly remastered AC/DC albums. These albums are a part of AC/DC's Remasters series. This included all the albums, except Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip. Ballbreaker was rereleased in 2005, and Stiff Upper Lip will be rereleased in 2010.
