AC/DC: HIGH-VOLTAGE ROCK 'N' ROLL THE ULTIMATE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY
By Phil Sutcliffe
Voyageur Press
Book Review by ~ Downshifter - Editor of Full Metal Rock
Finally a worthy book, of a worthy band. AC/DC: HIGH-VOLTAGE ROCK 'N' ROLL By Phil Sutcliffe is the ultimate coffee table book for any fan of Rock, Metal or simply one of the best original all time greatest bands AC/DC. Before you even open the book, the cover alone will impress you with its one of a kind unique, high quality interactive covers showing Angus spinning on the stage.
One of the first concert movies I ever saw was AC/DC Let there be Rock, and I have been hooked ever since. I must admit I enjoy the Bon Scott based early stuff the most, and I was very impressed on the overall quality and info included in this book. I learned things about the early days I did not even know, and the photos, and info included took me several weeks to go through and absorb.
This heavy duty 224-page kick ass book follows AC/DC's long-and-winding career, from the early days as a bar band in Australia, through the tragic passing of singer Bon Scott, and of course, their massive comeback success with one of rock's all-time classic (and best-selling) albums, Back in Black.
Featuring over 400+ illustrations with handbills, posters, backstage passes, and vinyl from around the world, as well as rare candid and performance photography. Sidebars by rock's finest journalists weighing in on various eras of the AC/DC are included throughout the book, as well as an album-by-album analysis, and info on the guitar gear used.
I have several coffee table books in my collection from various epic bands, but this one moves to the front of the line, and blows the others away. I am sure AC/DC would be very proud of this.
Way to go Phil Sutcliffe and Voyageur Press
