The hard rock world got a close-up view of the power of AC/DC with the band's first live offering, If You Want Blood You've Got It. Although the Australian rockers had three prior studio releases of undeniable crunch under their belt, it was this live document that captured the band in all its chomping power chord glory. Distilling the blues and rock 'n' roll down to its barest structures of guitar/bass/drums leaves little room for error. Without heavy production techniques, keyboards, tape loops (or even an effect pedal, for that matter), the band takes to the stage with only bare-knuckle riffs and a floor shaking 4/4 beat. And shake the floor they did.
To honour AC/DC’s 50-year reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, the band’s catalogue will be available as gold coloured vinyl LPs. Each of these limited edition LPs comes with an album-specific 12”x12” print featuring new AC/DC 50 artwork, suitable for framing.
