AC/DC 'BACK IN BLACK' LP

Out of great tragedy came one of hard rock’s most essential listens. Just shortly into the making of their seventh full-length release, the Aussie rockers’ frontman Bon Scott succumbed to a deadly bout of alcohol poisoning. While AC/DC contemplated calling it quits, they pressed on with new vocalist Brian Johnson and proceeded to lay down a strong, spirited and hooks-heavy collection yielding bawdy mega-hits (“You Shook Me All Night Long”), electric-charged bangabouts (“Shoot to Thrill”) and an in-the-red anthem about the power of persistence (“Back in Black”). One of the best-selling albums of all time, naturally ready to be spun on classic black wax.
