In a prolific and frequently brilliant run, they recorded six studio albums, established a diehard fan base that stretched from Australia to the UK, Europe to North America, toured relentlessly, and created no small amount of controversy and chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt one low point, the band's records were banned, their shows were cancelled, and they were hounded by police all because Angus Young dared bare his spotty backside at a press conference. In the midst of the mayhem, however, they were building a body of work that remains unmatched in hard rock. Many of AC\/DC's classic songs were cut during this time — 'Dirty Deeds', 'Rock And Roll Damnation', 'High Voltage', 'If You Want Blood (You Got It)', 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Long Way To The Top', 'Let There Be Rock', and more — and it says plenty that these fan favourites are still staples of the band's live sets today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with rare photographs from the era, \u003ci\u003eAC\/DC: The Bon Scott Years\u003c\/i\u003e documents all the key events of this frenetic time, beginning with the band's very first shows in the bloodhouses of suburban Sydney even before the name AC\/DC had been dreamed up by Margaret Young, Malcolm and Angus's big sister, and culminating with 1979's \u003ci\u003eHighway To Hell\u003c\/i\u003e, the album that paved the way for the mammoth success of \u003ci\u003eBack In Black\u003c\/i\u003e and all that was to follow, and the tragic death of Bon Scott, both an end and a new beginning for the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A must for AC\/DC fans.' - Philip Morris, AC\/DC photographer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48334176977132,"sku":"9781761475054","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781761475054-ac-dc-the-bon-scott-years-1.jpg?v=1788912896","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/acdc-the-bon-scott-years-by-jeff-apter-9781761475054","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
