New Releases category interest

To honour AC/DC’s 50-year reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, Columbia/Sony Legacy proudly announce that the band’s catalogue will be available as gold-coloured vinyl LPs. Each of these limited edition LPs comes with an album-specific 12”x12” print featuring new AC/DC 50 artwork, suitable for framing.

The final wave of releases includes the albums Flick Of The Switch, Fly On The Wall, Blow Up Your Video, Black Ice, Live At River Plate and their latest album, Power Up.

AC/DC’s Power Up Tour 2024 has seen the band perform to over 1.3 million ecstatic fans across Europe, including 160,000 over two nights at London’s legendary Wembley Stadium.

Fans have also flocked to the AC/DC Dive Bars in Gelsenkirchen, Seville, Munich and London, with tens of thousands checking out iconic props, getting AC/DC tattoos, meeting other fans, and picking up exclusive merch. The final AC/DC High Voltage Dive Bar will be in Paris on the 12th and 13th of August at the Galerie Au Rois, 73-75 Rue De La Fontaine Au Roi, 70011.

In the USA, the RIAA (the Recording Industry Association of America) has certified that AC/DC has now sold over 90 million albums in America. The band has also reached the milestone of over one billion streams in the UK.

The final wave of AC/DC 50 gold vinyl releases includes six more classic releases, completing the set of one of the greatest collections of rock ‘n’ roll albums of all time.

FLICK OF THE SWITCH – The self-produced album saw the band return to the rawer sound of their earlier records. Tracks like Bedlam In Belgium and Nervous Shakedown still remain firm fan favourites 40 years later.

FLY ON THE WALL – This 1985 album was the band’s first to be produced solely by Angus and Malcolm Young. It was accompanied by long-form video of the same name, which saw the band playing five tracks from the album in a club full of shady characters and an animated fly, like the one featured on the album cover.

BLOW UP YOUR VIDEO – Initially released in 1988 and recorded in London and the South of France, the album contains the UK hit single ‘Heatseeker’ and the US Rock hit ‘That’s The Way I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll.

BLACK ICE – Issued in the Fall of 2008, the album saw the band working with producer Brendan O’Brien for the first time. They have since worked together on Rock Or Bust In 2014 and Power Up in 2020. ‘Black Ice’ was AC/DC’s first UK #1 album since ‘Back In Black’ and their first US #1 since ‘For Those About To Rock’

LIVE AT RIVER PLATE – Recorded, along with a David Mallet-directed live film, on 4th December 2009 at the second of three sold-out shows at the legendary River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the Black Ice Tour, in front of a crowd of over 60,000.

POWER UP – AC/DC’s latest album, released in November 2020, was their first in six years. Released to fan and critical acclaim, it topped the charts in 21 countries, and the resulting European tour saw the band perform to over one million fans.
