AC/DC have signed to Epic Records in America. And the first releases under this deal will be revamped versions of ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, ‘Highway To Hell’ and ‘Back In Black’. This is part of a strategy that will see the band’s entire back catalogue re-issued. The band will record one more album with Elektra.


11/13/2002

According to my source, a very good one, the band is in fact Vancouver right now, recording the new album. They plan to release it in March 2003, but looking at their recent track record, they'll probably end up releasing it in late April or early May. They also plan to tour extensively following the album's release.

    Albert Productions, the home of AC/DC, has left long term distributor EMI for Festival Mushroom Records. In Australia, AC/DC have always been with Alberts ever since the release of their first single "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" in 1973. The association is via family ties. Angus and Malcolm Young are the younger brothers of Albert house producer George Young. George with partner Harry Vanda were members of The Easybeats and later became Flash and the Pan. AC/DC have been on Atlantic Records in other parts of the world but have always stayed loyal to their first label Alberts in Australia. In the 70's Alberts was distributed by EMI but moved to Sony for a short period in the 80s before returning to EMI. Festival Mushroom will inherit the entire AC/DC catalogue as part of the deal.

The book is titled "AC/DC: The Definitive History", and is based on the articles from Kerrang! and Sounds magazines, the only two magazines that have been following the band since the beginning. This is sort of an update of a book with the same title published in 1995 and written by Malcolm Dome. The new one also includes a foreword by Dave Mustaine from the metal band Megadeth.

    Another AC/DC related book is to be published in June of this year by Steven Rosen, the author of The Reincarnation Controversy : Uncovering the Truth in the World Religions, Black Sabbath, and Free at Last : The Story of Free and Bad Company.

    Today is Bon Scott's 22nd death anniversary. Fans all over the world are remembering the legendary singer. Here's a poem posted at Elektra AC/DC forum by the hardcore AC/DC fan Kelly:

    This poem is for you, the fabulous Bon Scott
    Quite a character you were, forgettable you are not

    Your passion for rock and roll will always be admired
    The fans are ever thankful, by AC/DC, you were hired

    You sang from your heart, and made the heavens rock
    No one else could do this, and you never stopped

    Your enthusiasm always kept the fans alive
    We’re sure you would still be this way, at age 55

    Watching you live must have been such a treat
    Your vocals along with the music made it hard to be beat

    During all of your concerts you were a real showstopper
    And proved to be a step above those glam rockers

    Energy was always your high point on stage
    It seemed that you were just let out of a cage

    Your eyes focused on the camera when performing live
    That showed deep inside you was a rock and roll drive

    No one else compares with your incredible scream
    The perfect compliment to a band that was hard, fast and mean

    Your earrings and tattoos told us you were a bad boy
    But underneath the fans knew you were a bundle of joy

    We’ve heard many wild stories with you and your booze
    Those must have been the times you could not refuse

    You always loved the fans, the women more and more
    Proven during T.N.T., night of the famous encore

    Your songs were written in a poetic form
    Tunes about living easy and loving free seemed to be the norm

    Your seven albums with AC/DC will constantly be played
    To an eternal resting, they will never be laid

    Your work with the band made them an international success
    And showed that you guys could rise above the rest

    It was such a tragic moment to see you fall
    Your spirit and joy has graciously embraced us all

    Although it has been 22 years that have passed
    Your strong spirit will always last

    You will remain in our hearts that are full of rock and roll
    Also, at the same time, forever rocking our souls

    And by the fans you will always be loved
    We hope you are smiling down on us from up above

    This poem was all for you, the late, the great BON
    Rest in peace eternally, and never stop RIDING ON

    "The best-selling album by an Australian act is AC/DC's Back In Black with estimated global sales of 19 million copies since 1980. Formed in 1973, in Sydney, NSW, Australia, this heavy metal act reportedly found their name after a band member's sister read the label on a vacuum cleaner."

    Well, it looks like hard rock legends AC/DC have taken notice of the hillbilly tribute band Hayseed Dixie, who translate the Aussie band's classics into bluegrass barnyard rave-ups. The quartet which has won notice for its renditions of AC/DC songs on its self-titled debut album on DTR/Dualtone Records and caught the ear of bassist Cliff Williams, who asked them to perform at a tour wrap party at his East Coast mountain retreat. Two other AC/DC members set to attend the party were waylaid but the spirit of the band burned brightly as Hayseed Dixie played two full sets of AC/DC music, plus bluegrass standards and even a coupla KISS tunes.

    Williams joined the Hayseed boys onstage in a rendition of AC/DC's "Have A Drink On Me" and later told the band members, "I've been playing a lot of these songs for 20-something years. You guys make me excited about performing them again."

    "It sure is powerful strange that Cliff would build his summer home just down the road apiece from where we all come from," says Hayseed Dixie's Barley Scotch. "Of course now we never spent much time in that particular neighborhood before."

The live band will consist of Geordie Mark III (Dave Robson on bass, Dek Rootham on guitar and Dave Whitaker on drums), which only recorded a single with Brian (Treat Her Like A Lady/Rockin With The Boys) and toured the clubs during 1977-1980 right before Brian joined AC/DC.

    All of Brian Johnson's former band Geordie's albums have been reissued on CD over the years and it seems labels are still cashing in with a Best Of every year or so, but the CD that just came out a couple of month a go is actually a cool release for a few reasons. After Brian left Geordie the band carried on and released another Lp in 1978 called "No Good Woman," which contained 3 tracks sang with Brian on lead vocals, even though he'd left the band 4 years earlier. That album is extremely hard to find today (And it seems was only ever released in Sweden, France & Argentina) and had never been issued on CD. A Geordie fan from Russia put together this reissue (and it IS a legal release) and added 2 completely unreleased Geordie tracks (sang by Brian), "Dollars-Deutchmarks," and "I Remember." The CD also contains an cool booklet with photos, lyrics & info. For all inquiries and orders email kos.mos@relcom.ru.

  • Press release from Albert Productions:

    "Friday On My Mind, the classic working class rock and roll anthem was last night voted as the best Australian song of all time. Written by Harry Vanda and George Young the worldwide Easybeats hit was selected by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as the best and most significant Australian song of the past 75 years. In a gala ceremony rock group You Am I performed a rousing version of the hit with one of the two writers, Harry Vanda on hand as a special guest guitarist for the evening's climax. Co-writer George Young was also honoured but did not attend the function. It's a Long Way to the Top, written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott was voted the ninth best song. Friday on My Mind was The Easybeats' fifth number one in Australia and also hit the number six spot on the English charts. It also made the American top 20 and has since been recorded by David Bowie, Gary Moore and Peter Frampton amongst many others."

    Writer Susan Masino first encountered AC/DC in Madison on August 16th 1977 during their first US tour. She immediately befriended the band and one of their roadie, Barry Taylor, and closely followed the band's rise until Barry's departure from the band's entourage in 1980. She just released her story in the form of an e-Book on CD-ROM earlier this month. In "Rock N Roll Fantasy" you'll read about her story as a music journalist which relates some fascinating facts about AC/DC's early days, and also includes offstage stories on the likes of KISS, Van Halen & Cheap Trick. Also in this ebook are many photos of the band's Madison performance in 1977, and a 30 minute interview Susan conducted (or tried to...) with the entire band in December 1977. This hilarious interview, by itself, justifies getting this book. Visit www.susanmasino.com for all details on how to order it.
