Question for rattpoison

Rattpoison how available are these down under versions of AC/DC's following albums or have they been replaced by the international versions of these two albums:






I have both on vinyl but I can't seem to find them on CD in the States. Thanks.

Albert records reissued the Australian versions of AC/DC's early albums in '95 or so......but they are currently out of print and command fair prices (just looked on ebay, somewhere from $20 up).

Here's the ebay search..........

Just High Voltage, Dirty Deeds is just a different cover with a track listing a little different, on that version it has 'Jailbreak' instead of 'Problem Child' and another song 'R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)

I believe LET THERE BE ROCK was also released in Australia with a different cover on it. I have a bootleg of AC/DC rarities that includes a song called "Crabsody in Blue," the liner notes sez it came from the Aussie LET THERE BE ROCK pressing.

I forgot about that yes the album cover looks like this.

Yup, that be the one, boss.

According to our pals at Wikipedia, the track listing on the Aussie version is:

1. "Go Down" – 5:20 (vinyl), 5:33 (CD)
   
2. "Dog Eat Dog" – 3:35
   
3. "Let There Be Rock"– 6:07
   
4. "Bad Boy Boogie" – 4:28
   
5. "Overdose" – 6:09
   
6. "Crabsody In Blue" – 4:45
   
7. "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" – 4:15
   
8. "Whole Lotta Rosie" – 5:22
   

For the U.S. and international versions, "Crabsody in Blue" was replaced by "Problem Child"

I believe that might have been ....a metaphor.

I didn't know that song really existed. I thought "Crabsody in Blue" was one of those carzy bootlegged, never recorded songs, much like the Rolling Stones fabled "C*cksucker Blues".

It's ok... i was just kidding no need to spill that into this thread.

Rock In Peace is such a GREAT song, can't believe that never made it onto one of the U.S. releases.

By the way, I remember listening to a few of those reissued CDs when they came out back in '95...and they sounded like crap (as in nowhere near as good as the U.S. versions available at the time).

That would explain why they were taken off the market.

I have both of those I may be persuaded to give up, Manny. Pm me an offer.

Scratch that. I think I sold my AC/DC. Or it is somewhere that I can't find...

They weren't taken off the market......they sold out.

The U.S. version of High Voltage is similar, but it includes the songs Little Lover and She's Got Balls.

Rocker ended up on the U.S. version of Dirty Deeds.

What albums were Little Lover and She's Got Balls released on in Australia?

Ive got the aussie versions, T.N.T is just the american version of High Voltage with different cover art and minus a few songs from the american version. As for the others:

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap:
1.)Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
2.)Ain't No Fun (Waiting Around To Be A Millionaire)
3.)There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'
4.)Problem Child
5.)Squealer
6.)Big Balls
7.)R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)
8.)Ride On
9.)Jailbreak

Let There Be Rock:
1.)Go Down
2.)Dog Eat Dog
3.)Let There Be Rock
4.)Bad Boy Boogie
5.)Overdose
6.)Crabsody In Blue
7.)Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be
8.)Whole Lotta Rosie

High Voltage:
1.)Baby, Please Don't Go
2.)She's Got Balls
3.)Little Lover
4.)Stick Around
5.)Soul Stripper
6.)You Ain't Got A Hold On Me
7.)Love Song
8.)Show Business

Also, these things were never cheap if I remember right, I think I paid about 30 bucks a piece almost as imports.
