I wonder what albums you currently have. After Powerage, both the Australian & international versions were identical in songs included. So there is no need to get new ones, unless you want the Australian cover of Highway to Hell, or the American one.

The only thing I'd change there would be to exchange 'High Voltage' for 'Highway To Hell', otherwise, spot on

^^ I'd have 'High Voltage' and the live album 'If you want blood..' from the Scott era, and 'For those about to rock' and 'Back in Black' from the Johnson era..
If I were to choose two from each...

I think that sums it up nicely Andy. You don't really need more than 2 AC/DC albums. |
Completely agree, though I would have 2 from each era: High Voltage and '74 Jailbreak from Scott's and Ballbreaker and Back in Black from Brian's.

Ouch!!! 
I kinda think they are one of the greats! |
Dont get me wrong, they're great at what they do. They just keep doing it over and over again..
I saw them live a couple of times back in the 80's and they were an excellent fun live band.

My friends young son - who I am trying to progify, gradually - got an AC/DC box set just recently. I'm not sure if it was this one, but it had a fair amount of live film footage on DVD too. Some real gems from the Bon Scott days.
Kinda nostalgic to watch, as I used to be a big AC/DC fan as a kid, before I worked out that they only really had four riffs, and they were all played against the same drum rhythim, at slightly varying tempos.

Because if i would buy all those albums as remasters in the store, it would cost about $145, which is what the bid level is on now. Such a shame... Those australian early CD-pressings are much cooler!

No. Spend the money on better stuff. Honest advice. On the other hand, if they're really rare editions it might be worth getting... you'll enjoy them now and when you grow out of it in a couple years you'll be able to sell it for a lot more.

I just found the "Boombox" boxset on an auction site. It contains all their albums up to and including "Live 1992" in rare australian pressings. So that's: - High Voltage
- T.N.T
- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
- Let There be Rock
- Powerage
- If you want Blood, you've got it!
- Highway to Hell
- Back in Black
- For Those about to Rock (We Salute You)
- Flick of the Switch
- Fly on the Wall
- Who Made Who
- Blow Up Your Video
- Razors Edge
- Live 1992
It's quite pricey, though. $118. Should i get it? It would take forever to find all those Australian CD's seperatly, and it would probably cost alot more too. I'm afraid i'll need to work and sell a bit to afford this (I CAN afford it now, but if i get a bit more money by working&selling stuff, it would go easier on my economy). Should i get it?
