Editorial Review:
In 1976, when the Eagles, Peter Frampton, and Heart ruled the rock airwaves, along came five scruffy young men (the lead guitarist was maybe all of 18 and dressed in a schoolboy's uniform) from Australia playing some of the rowdiest, hardest, dirtiest rock of all time. Screaming "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," singer Bon Scott teased like a braggart. Sensing the rock community's growing dissatisfaction with bloated, epic-scaled bands, AC/DC were indeed a high-voltage act: their drummer nailed the beat with fury, their bluesy guitar riffs mutated into something metallic and sharp-edged, and Scott's vocals took the shrillness of early Robert Plant to a leaner and meaner place. "Live Wire" is one of the most electrifying hard rock songs imaginable, "High Voltage" and "TNT" are the musical equivalent of touching exposed nerves with a rusty fork, and "Jack" proves that white rock dudes can, contrary to popular belief, get down. Whew! --Lorry Fleming
AC/DC's 1976 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic.

Rating:  - Rock You Like A Hurricane
Killer album, one of the best items on here. She's got the Jack, Yeah! Thanx Pepsi & Amazon. Well worth digging through dumpsters looking for points. Meet some interesting folks there.
Rating: - The title says is all!
Simple straight forward high powered Rock n roll!! No need for complexity. The power of High Voltage and Live Wire, coupled with the fun of Little Lover and Can I Sit Next To You Girl added to the not-played-enough Its A Long Way To the Top and over-played TNT make this a must have album in your collection. Only true AC/DC fans know this and other albums deeply enough to appreciate all the great music they made. Go get one for your own!!
Rating: - bagpipe in rock excellent
This cd has some very good songs from early ac/dc with Bon Scott. It is worth your pepsi points to get it. The bagpipe in the first song isvery exceptional
Rating:  - A Strong Debut!
Early AC/DC can be a bit confusing, especially for the new fan, as the band had multiple releases, domestic (Australian) and international, and the tracks weren't at all consistent between those releases. Their first, full fledged international release was this album, High Voltage, which is essentially a combination of their first two releases in their native Australia, High Voltage and TNT. From the Australian High Voltage, the band draws only two tracks, those being the "She's Got Balls," and ... Read More
Rating: - A rockin CD!
Ac/DC rocked the house back when the AM radio crowd was swaying peacfully to Captain and Tenile.
Angus could rock with the best of em and he was only 18.
High voltage is right! THIS ALBUM IS PURE POWER!
Keep on rockin in a free world!
