"the music was good and the music was loud..."-“Let There Be Rock"

Perhaps the best in a catalog of great albums, Let There Be Rock spawned a live movie and helped put AC/DC on the map of the midnight movie circuit after Highway To Hell made them a Platinum band in the Bon Scott era.  

I got this in a three tape AC/DC lot on Ebay but this had a tape spew scenario that Kates Track Shack in Texas fixed up to make it sound good again.  So many things can go wrong with 8-tracks, but when they sound great they sound great.

So anyway you get Bon Scott band standards that Brian Johnson took over posthumously like the title track and "Whole Lotta Rosie" as well as fist pumpers like "Go Down" and "Dog Eat Dog."  There are only 8 songs on the album and miraculously nothing is subjected to mid song fade out.  There is a little reshuffling of the track order and "Crabsody In Blue" was always left off the US edition in exchange for "Problem Child" which came out on the Australian edition of Dirty Deeds Done DIrt Cheap in 1976. 

Rock. The way it should be.
