Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

A bit of Dirty Deeds done Dirt Cheap.

I've got two trains of thought here.

There are songs that I think deserve to be the greatest of all time.

Yeah, it's got a lot of keys on it, like those string keys that they used.

ACDC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Yeah.

Aerosmith's Rocks.

The last, of course, ACDC, one of the biggest bands on the planet.

Their third highest selling album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Turned 50 last week.

Thought I'd play you the classic Ride On.

... you know, Harry, Harry Belafonte and stuff like that, you know, just weird odds and ends stuff that I kept.

And I mean, throughout, you know, throughout, like, buying records and stuff like that, I mean, uh, uh, you know, uh, like, actually one of my favorite pieces of vinyl I have, and this is, this is kinda cool, is that I have the original 1976, uh, release of AC/DC's, uh, Dirty Deeds.

Oh, the, the original.

I have the o-

I picked up a sort of compilation CD somewhere around about 96 or 97 maybe and just couldn't believe the stripped down raw brutality of something like it was so raw the storytelling in The Butcher and Fast Eddie is just some of the best rock and roll lyricism you've ever read up there of course with the Lemmys and the Bonds but there was something about Rose Tattoo when I first sat down and listened to them it was so Australian as the Destroyer guy said to me you know You look back on, say, Dirty Deeds, Dunder, Cheap, the ACDC album, and even though Rose Tattoo were produced by Vanda and Young and I think on the same, the record label owned by the, well, connected to ACDC, Alberts and Sons, I guess.

You know, you listen to Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap and you take the song who ain't no fun waiting around to be a millionaire.

And I think at the end of it, Bond goes, sitting in my Chevrolet, if I'm not mixing up the songs.

Nobody in the 1970s, as the Destroyer guys put it to me, had a Chevrolet.

1976, ACDC released their third album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

And you know, that came out,

On today's episode I'm going to take a look at the album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by ACDC.

The band's third studio album released on September 20, 1976.

Ignition!

And then Atlantic decided to posthumously, in regard to Bon Scott at least, release this album in the US.

A story we can pick up on in another episode coming up in the next couple of months.

And so on today's episode, we will be concentrating on the Australian release of this album, the true third album from ACDC, the one that comes under the name of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

For an album that has just nine tracks and lasts for a little over 42 minutes, there is quite the variety within the album itself.

But there was a resurgence for ACDC's old catalog with Bon Scott and albums like High Voltage and TNT and stuff like that.

And so they went and found Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, which had been released in Europe and Australia and such in 1976.

And they put it out in America in 1981.

But doggone it, that's a 50-year-old song.
