Classic Bon Scott!, May 6, 2000
This review is from: Livestock (Audio CD)
Thirty years ago I worked with a yound musician named BonScott. Through his formative years with the Valentines and then ontohis time in Fraternity, the precursor to AC/DC. What you hear in this record is the quality of Bon's voice, its incredible power and range. Much of which was lost in the later years of AC/DC. You also hear the command of music which evolved into 50% of the drive that made AC/DC so successful. 30 years ago I saw a Fraternity album in a music store and passed it by. What a mistake! Fraternity's signature tune, Seasons, is just as great today as it ever was. This is a MUST HAVE for any Bon Scott fan.

A great album featuring a great singer, May 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Livestock (Audio CD)
I saw this album in with all the other AC/DC CDs a few months ago and decided to pass, it ate at me all day and later that night I went back and bought it, I'm very glad I did. Fraternity is not a band with the same style of music as AC/DC, I think it is best described as a combination between blues, rock and roll, and a small bit of psychadelic rock. I love this album, it's great, Bon sounds great on his vocals, it really shows the power of his voice in songs such as Raglan's Folly and It. Even the song Grand Canyon Suites which is an instrumental sounds great, and the two songs, Cool Spot, and Livestock feature a number of people singing, and they're all great songs. Bon and the rest of the band sound great... now if I can just get my hands on the rest of the Fraternity songs....
