5.0 out of 5 stars This CD Rocks!!!!, July 5, 2003

By	Martin Lemos "Marty" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

Here we have the debut albumby AC/DC, HIGH VOLTAGE. It is not the same version as the one that was released internationally, that cd was acombination of this album and of TNT, both which are imports. Here we have 8 meaty tracks that we can sink are teeth into. From the very beginning, the band proved they could rock, and that they would be a force to reckon with in the coming years. You want tracks that rock, then I suggest you listen to: SHE'S GOT BALLS, LITTLE LOVER, BABY PLEASE DONT GO, SHOW BUSINESS, SOUL STRIPPER. The only track I think is a little below the rest is STICK AROUND, its not a bad song, but it is just average compared to the others. You want a surprise, then I suggest you listen to LOVE SONG. Its an AC/DC power ballad long before these type of songs became the rage in the 80's. So recommend that you get you hands on this album any way you can. Dont waste you money on 74'JAILBREAK you can find 4 out of the 5 songs on the album here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most important of all.........., August 5, 2003

By	Mark H. "mrh" (Hanson, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Worth searching out for any real AC/DC fan, Austrialia's 'High Voltage', released in February 1975 is much different from the later UK/US release. The brothers Young barely had their band together when new vocalist Ronald Belford Scott came aboard. In fact both the drums and bass were played by session musicans (Phil Rudd and Mark Evans would join later in the year). Like any typical debut record, they had yet to perfect their sound or stage show, however the origins of a great band are in evidence. The band's first real classic "She's Got Balls" is easily one of the highlights along with "Stick Around" (not on the later version), "Soul Stripper" and "Show Business". Most shocking of all is the appearance of a honest to God ballad, "Love Song" (go figure), a very touching song supposedly written by Bon lamenting the breakup of his marriage. I've never cared for "Baby Please Don't Go" (though the video is hilarious). Definitely a must for the AC/DC completist but it would take another record before AC/DC could claim legend status. Ahhh...show business, that's the way it goes...
