Disc 1

Description:	Against all the odds the death of original singer and soul of the band Bon Scott didn't signal the collapse of the band he co-founded. Instead the selection of Brian Johnson as Bon's replacement drove AC/DC on to greater heights. After the masterpiece that was 'Highway To Hell' they surpassed it with 'Back In Black'. Crammed with hard rock classics 'Hells Bells', 'You Shook Me All Night Long' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution', 'Back In Black' is a true rock classic and a fitting tribute to Bon Scott.

Rolling Stone (10/3/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The essence of unrepetantly simple but savagely crafted hard rock..." Q (12/94, p.157) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The apotheosis of evil, sidewinding boogie and pig-ignorant sexism...BACK IN BLACK's irresistible first half gives it the edge over absolutely every other heavy rock album from the early 1980s..." Mojo (12/00, p.84) - "...A tribute to Bon Scott, sung by a man he himself had once recommended....Highlights from the 10-million seller: 'You Shook Me All Night Long', 'Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution' and doomy opener 'Hell's Bells'." Uncut (9/03, p.123) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...AC/DC's precision, granite-cracking boogie, sky-bothering choruses and artless lust never sounded better than here..." Classic Rock (04/06, p.60) - "...one of just a handful of albums that truly deserve the accolade 'all-time classic'."
