- German Release
AC/DC Dirty Deeds: Originally recorded and released in 1975, this record was not released in Europe and the rest of the world until after Bon Scott died in 1980
AC/DC's iconic album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, finally got its German release on 12" vinyl after languishing in obscurity outside of Australia for several years. While originally recorded and unleashed upon the world in 1975, the album's international debut wouldn't happen until the tragic passing of frontman Bon Scott in 1980.
This German release marked a significant moment for rock fans across Europe. Dirty Deeds, a powerhouse of electrifying hard rock anthems, had already cemented AC/DC's reputation in their native Australia. Tracks like the title song, "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)," and the bluesy stomp of "Ride On" showcased the band's signature sound – Angus Young's blistering guitar riffs intertwined with Scott's raw, charismatic vocals.
The delay in the international release of Dirty Deeds remains a topic of discussion among fans. Some speculate it was due to legal wrangling with the band's former singer, Dave Evans, who appears on the Australian version of the album. Others suggest the international record labels weren't convinced of the band's potential outside of Australia.
Regardless of the reason, the German release of Dirty Deeds on 12" vinyl proved to be a turning point. It unleashed a wave of hard rock energy across Europe, introducing a new generation of fans to AC/DC's raw power and electrifying stage presence. The album's influence on the burgeoning heavy metal scene in Europe is undeniable.
