Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Definitely in the top 5 of AC/DC's best albums. Bon Scott's lyrics are on top form. In the song 'Big Balls' he sings about the kind of balls posh people gather at (think Cinderella), however, it sounds as though he's singing about something else, entirely - very witty.The whole album is great from start to finish and, for me, has a great summer vibe about it (apart from the bluesy 'Ride On'). The album sleeve reflects the music - palm trees, sun, a motel, some shady characters with their eyes blacked over - a sense of good fun and a saucy sense of humour, typical AC/DC, really. The album went unreleased in America because the band's own record label, 'Atlantic Records', found the content a bit too corruptible and put it to one side.The very thought that AC/DC would corrupt the youth of America... It was eventually released in America in 1981. This was because AC/DC had just scored a no. 1 album over there with 'For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)'. There was also the fact that both 'Highway To Hell' (1979) And 'Back In Black' (1980) had been hugely popular and the record company thought it was time to unleash it. When released, 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' reached no. 3 on the American album chart. It is the third best-selling AC/DC disc to date - behind 'Highway To Hell' and 'Back In Black'.

classic album at an amazing price sounds great really clean pressing

Bought this for my grandson’s birthday. He’s only 9 but already an avid fan. He’s going to love it !

AC/DC as they were ment to be listened to. OK this vinyl LP has been pressed from a digital master it still has the vinyl impact of a original vinyl pressing of the 1970s first pressing. I wish I had never sold my old vinyl.

Good album, i seemed to repeat play again and again.

My age had all the albums now got the cds love it

This album is an often overlooked one by AC/DC, especially for the Bon Scott era. Indeed, apart from the rather famous / infamous title track, many would struggle to name another song from the album, hardly surprising since the afore mentioned title track is the only one they ever seem to play live! There are some real good songs here, the rebellious 'Problem Child,' the epic 'Ain't No Fun,' and the closest thing AC/DC have made that resembles a ballad, the on the road anthem 'Ride On.' Being their sophomore album, this is still a very raw band, and the production reflects that. Nowhere near as polished as the much more hailed classics 'Back In Black' of 'Highway To Hell,' but definitely an essential purchase for any 'DC or rock fan.

great product and great delivery... thanks to all

Excelente disco, muy buena edición. Sonido espectacular.

Another oldie but worth having

CD importado em digipack. Muito bom. Um dos melhores do AC/DC.

Disco spettacolare, già in CD, ho deciso di prendermi anche la versione Gold del 50° anniversario. Si sente bene, arrivato nei tempi! Tutto perfetto!

Replacing some of my old recordings I have worn out, lost or damaged. This is one of those that is literally the music of my life. An excellent album that brings back so many memories and never gets old.
