HIGH VOLTAGE

ANGUS....where were we ? ...High Voltage, High Voltage i think that sums up pretty much the band in general...the title and what the title it self, in the beginnin it was just our way of sayin what was AC/DC, it was just a High Voltage you know, full of energy and lightening and power and stuff, so thats what always sticks in my own head and it was a way of describin your sound wasnt it ? High Voltage rock n roll.
High Voltage was the bands first album. It was recorded in November 1974 in Sydney at Albert Studios, produced by Harry Vanda and George Young {malcolm and angus's brother}. It was released on the 17 February 1975 . The track listing was High Voltage, Soul Stripper, Baby Please Dont go, Stick Around, You Aint Got A Hold On Me, Love Song, Show Business, She's Got Balls, Little Lover. It was released in America in 1976 under the same name but the songs were a mixture of the original album and the T.N.T album. The executives at Atlantic records felt that the original album wouldnt work in America so they mixed it up.
