AC/DC to reissue original Australian versions of 'High Voltage' & 'T.N.T.' at London Dive Bar
They were never before released outside of Australia.
Last updated 15th May 2024
AC/DC are reissuing the original Australian versions of their first two studio albums ‘High Voltage’ and ‘T.N.T.’ on 12” vinyl exclusively at five AC/DC Dive Bars on their European trek.
Coinciding with respective stadium dates on their Power Up Tour, including the two colossal Wembley Stadium gigs, AC/DC are launching High Voltage Dive Bars in Gelsenkirchen, Seville, Munich, London and Paris this summer.
The London pop-up Dive Bar is at The Vanguard in Stables Market, Camden and it’s open from 2pm to 10pm on 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th July, and midday to 10pm on show days on 3rd and 7th July.
Announcing the ‘High Voltage’ and ‘T.N.T.’ reissues featuring the original packaging, AC/DC wrote: ‘The original 1975 Australian versions of High Voltage and T.N.T., are being reissued on vinyl and will be available only at the AC/DC Dive Bars this Summer, starting in Gelsenkirchen on May 16.
‘These albums were never before released outside of Australia. Limited quantities available so only one of each title per customer. Visit the High Voltage Dive Bars and get them while you can!’
Featuring a cover of Big Joe Williams' 'Baby, Please Don't Go', AC/DC's debut album 'High Voltage' was released in Australia only in February 1975. Produced by Harry Vanda and Malcolm and Angus' older brother George Young, the album peaked on the Australian charts at no.14 and has since gone on to sell 350,000 units.
AC/DC's Australia and New Zealand only album 'T.N.T.' followed a few weeks before Christmas in 1975. 'T.N.T.' saw the band delve into more abrasive, hard-edged rock and roll and featured the album title track, 'High Voltage', 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)' and a re-recording of debut single 'Can I Sit Next to You, Girl.'
The band released their first international album 'High Voltage' in April 1976; essentially a compilation record featuring songs from their Australian releases 'High Voltage' and 'T.N.T.'
AC/DC's European Power Up Tour takes in dates across Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France and Ireland this summer and concludes with a show at Dublin Croke Park on Saturday 17th August.
AC/DC’s line-up on the tour will feature Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, and rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, alongside drummer Matt Laug and Chris Chaney on bass.
Cliff Williams took a brief break from his retirement to perform at Power Trip festival last October, but won’t be joining AC/DC on their European trek.
