FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released in 1980. This record is the 2009 European reissue, remastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original master tapes.

How does this edition differ from the gold version?
Both use the same remaster. This 2009 edition is pressed on black vinyl, while the 2024 Special Edition is on gold vinyl for the band's 50th anniversary.

What does 180g mean?
The record is heavier than a standard pressing (usually 120 to 140g). That makes it sturdier and less prone to warping; the sound depends mainly on the mastering and the pressing.

Do you have more AC/DC records?
Yes, for example AC/DC – Flick Of The Switch, AC/DC – The Razors Edge and AC/DC – PWR/UP. More titles are in our Hard Rock collection.
