EXTD=RT REVIEW: AC/DC's debut album, High Voltage, is a stripped-down 
EXTD=collection of loud, raw, rude rockers, mostly odes to rock & roll
EXTD= and its attendant hard-partying lifestyle -- to paraphrase the l

EXTD=Roll)," getting drunk, stoned, beat up, and laid. The band revele

EXTD=end of the gleefully sexist, double-entendre-filled "The Jack," S

EXTD=their sense of humor and clever wordplay made early AC/DC a great

EXTD=ves that AC/DC were already in the big leagues. [In February 2003

EXTD=er 7, 2006\nReviewer: crab "a music fan from newcomerstown"\nThis
EXTD= is a compilation of the band's first two albums, the mediocre HI
EXTD=GH VOLTAGE, and the very good T.N.T.. The album opens with the ve
EXTD=ry good IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP, followed by the equally good 
EXTD=ROCK N ROLL SINGER. After a strong start you get three classic so
EXTD=ngs in a row, THE JACK, LIVE WIRE, and T.N.T., which are arguably
EXTD= as good as anything the band has ever done. LITTLE LOVER and SHE
EXTD='S GOT BALLS are two more great tracks (both from the original HI
EXTD=GH VOLTAGE). CAN I SIT NEXT TO YOU GIRL, and the song HIGH VOLTAG
EXTD=E aren't up to the level of the rest of the album, but they're no
EXTD=t bad either. SOUL STRIPPER should have been included on this rel
EXTD=ease. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThis is a farce, part one
EXTD=, October 1, 2006\nReviewer: A Pop/Rock Fan (Somewhere on Planet 
EXTD=Earth)\nBy 1976, somebody had the rather strange idea of tearing 
EXTD=apart the Australian version of "HIGH VOLTAGE" and "T.N.T", AC/DC
EXTD='s first two albums, and then sew some of the pieces together int
EXTD=o this hodgepodge. Who's to blame for this rip off?. Somebody at 
EXTD=Atlantic Records?. Some members of AC/DC?. Maybe both?. Who cares
EXTD= anyway?. \nCertainly the late Bon Scott, a man who never minced 
EXTD=words, was not particularly delirious about this idea. As he bitt
EXTD=erly screamed in the title track of "DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP"
EXTD=: "Neck ties, contracts, high voltage, done dirt cheap!". Now tha
EXTD=t I've got used to the Aussie albums, listening back to this "pro
EXTD=duct" feels worse than a hangover from consuming adulterated, low
EXTD= quality spirits. Even the front cover is ridiculous. Perhaps tho
EXTD=se who conceived it intended to capture Angus Young's manic frenz
EXTD=y on stage. But the result is hilarious: a picture of Angus Young
EXTD= looking like a retard holding an obviously fake, broken Gibson S
EXTD=G. A real broken guitar would have saved the day (just a little b
EXTD=it). \nEvery enthusiastic record collector knows that both Atlant
EXTD=ic records (now Warner Music) and Epic records (now Sony Music) a
EXTD=re serious labels that took, and still take risks, by signing up 
EXTD=cutting edge artists and by respecting their will. So, it seems t
EXTD=hat, with their approval of this re-issue, the surviving members 
EXTD=of AC/DC are the ones to blame for this farce to go on, and on, a
EXTD=nd on ... If this is so ... well ... guys, we, the fans, made you
EXTD= filthy rich. We deserve the "real deals", available worldwide, a
EXTD=t a "reasonable price". \nA final word about this re-issue: I don
EXTD='t own it. In the words of Pete Townshend, I "won't get fooled ag
EXTD=ain". Alas, there are no bonus tracks, nor previously unreleased 
EXTD=material. For reasons unknown to me, the surviving members of AC/
EXTD=DC seem quite apprehensive about sharing a bit more of their musi
EXTD=c with us (both Warner Music and Sony Music are reissuing classic
EXTD= albums with tons of bonus/previously unreleased material). \nIf 
EXTD=Bon Scott (undisputedly the band's most uncompromising member eve
EXTD=r), was still alive, I believe things would be different. By the 
EXTD=way, if you are interested in the real stuff, please be so kind a
EXTD=s to read my review of ".T.N.T. (Import)". \nOTHER ITEMS TO BE AV
EXTD=OIDED: The skimpy "retrospective" EP "'74 JAIBREAK", and "BONFIRE
EXTD=", a rather steep box set in which at least 6 songs are repeated 
EXTD=twice, in different versions. None of these titles include all th
EXTD=e songs left out by the adulteration of AC/DC's first four Aussie
EXTD= albums.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMay Altman forever burn
EXTD= in hell..., September 3, 2006\nReviewer: Kevin Hughes\nThe 1976 
EXTD=Rolling Stone writer who summed this album and AC/DC up as "calcu
EXTD=lated stupidity" was definitely in the wrong side of the univiver
EXTD=se when he reviewed this album, and he will forever burn in the a
EXTD=nnals of Rock n' Roll history. AC/DC instead went on to define Ro
EXTD=ck in the biggest way possible--as I remember, even the 80's punk
EXTD=s, who revolted against most commercial heavy metal, including Le
EXTD=d Zeppelin, still liked AC/DC, or at least some of their songs. L
EXTD=ooking back on that era, I remember hardcore fans of The Smiths e
EXTD=ven getting off to AC/DC at selected moments! \nToday, the influe
EXTD=nce of the group is unquestionable, and I think all the recogniti
EXTD=on, critical and otherwise, is warranted. \n"High Voltage," in sh
EXTD=ort, is one of those albums that, as you grow up, and if you are 
EXTD=in a place in your life in those tender years to be touched by mu
EXTD=sic, that you kind of live by. I never questioned its greatness t
EXTD=oo much, and still don't. These days, you'd call it "classic," in
EXTD= every respect--the look, the sounds, the approach, the attitude,
EXTD= the virtuosity, etc. This is the first chapter in the "Testament
EXTD=" of AC/DC. There is no bad song on this album. Where Back in Bla
EXTD=ck was a triumph of and over the shadows of life and death--and i
EXTD=s almost a spiritual experience in that regard--High Voltage is l
EXTD=ike clear, springtime jubilation. Ultimately, "Jubilant" is the o
EXTD=ne word that I use to describe this album. This is the glorious b
EXTD=irthing of AC/DC, and it will continute to captivate and capture 
EXTD=the spirit of all youth hence. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n
EXTD=AC/DC's First American Release, November 4, 2005\nReviewer: Jerem
EXTD=y F. "Rock N' Roll Fan" (California, USA)\nReleased in 1976 as a 
EXTD=compilation of AC/DC's first two Australian releases, T.N.T. and 
EXTD=High Voltage, High Voltage does a very good job of introducing AC
EXTD=/DC to the US. From start to finish, High Voltage is a solid soun
EXTD=dtrack filled with Angus and Malcolm's excellent guitar playing, 
EXTD=Bon Scott's shrill yet powerful singing, and Phil Rudd's awesome 
EXTD=drumming. There is not a dull track off of the album, and it can 
EXTD=easily be played from the beginning with out pressing the skip bu
EXTD=tton once. Though High Voltage is missing several tracks from the
EXTD= Australian releases, most of them are available on AC/DC's 1984 
EXTD=release, "'74 Jailbreak". Some definate classics from the CD are,
EXTD= Rock N' Roll Singer, Live Wire, She's Got Balls, and High Voltag
EXTD=e. Though not their best album, Back in Black holds that award, H
EXTD=igh Voltage is a definite buy, and a necessary record for any AC/
EXTD=DC fan or rock music fan for that matter.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOME

EXTD=viewer: Tim Salmons "Tim" (Worthville, KY)\nI must say that this 
EXTD=new digipak release by Epic towers over the original 1994 remaste
EXTD=red version by Atlantic. Not only is the sound increased, but it 
EXTD=sounds ten times better ast far remastering the two track masters
EXTD= goes. The original album version of "It's A Long Way To The Top"
EXTD= is included, which is 15 seconds shorter, noticeable improvement
EXTD=s of the remastering process on tracks "High Voltage," "The Jack,
EXTD=" "Can I Sit Next To You Girl," "Little Lover," "T.N.T.," and "Ro
EXTD=ck N Roll Singer." The other tracks "It's A Long Way To The Top,"
EXTD= "Live Wire," and "She's Got Balls" are also impressing sound-wis
EXTD=e. The new liner notes could've used to better used, especially w
EXTD=ith lyrics and new reviews. Overall, a huge improvement of the be
EXTD=ginning of the AC/DC catalog. I look forward to future releases o

EXTD=HIGH VOLTAGE was the first chance America had to glimpse the raw 
EXTD=power of Australia's best hard rock outfit. From their earliest d
EXTD=ays, lead guitarist Angus Young, a spastic dwarf-like riff-monger
EXTD= who wore nothing but traditional schoolboy attire, led this band
EXTD= of hooligans with gleeful perversity and balls-out ambition. The
EXTD= group's intent is perfectly clear from the disc's opening power 
EXTD=chords: to distill rock and mutate the blues down to its barest e
EXTD=ssentials in a pulverizing whomp. Riding over the top of the batt
EXTD=ering rhythm section is the all-too-true sneer of vocalist Bon Sc
EXTD=ott, who brings sexist anthems to a previously unachieved high (o
EXTD=r low, depending on your reference point).\nWith over-the-top sho
EXTD=w-stoppers about gonorrhea ("The Jack"), HIGH VOLTAGE is not for 
EXTD=the faint of heart. The single from this record, "T.N.T," got AC/
EXTD=DC into rock radio rotation and gave metal fans a template of the
EXTD= brand of molten lava the band would later weld into perfection. 
EXTD=The formula for which the group would eventually become famous--s
EXTD=ongs based around three crunching power chords and the high-pitch
EXTD=ed squeal of a man who sounds like he's just been unleashed from
