USA FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP IN EMBOSSED SLEEVE WITH CREDITS INNER SLEEVE.

Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?

Time to toss away your re-mastered CDs, your re-issued vinyl, your so-so 're-mastered' vinyl pressings which never really sound 'right'. There is only one truly great pressing of this album, and this is it: The original Robert Ludwig Masterdisk work of aural art. It is the only one that sounds remotely gritty, loud, dirty yet dynamic at the same time.

As usual, Bob Ludwig painted a masterpiece with this one when he cut it - which he had done so often before with Led Zeppelin and many others - he just knows how to cut vinyl so that the bass is fat, tight and warm, whilst the mid and upper-mids remain spacious and vibrant. The wallop contained on the master tape was transfered to those magical grooves as only Ludwig knows how. So, here it is, ACϟDC's all-time classic, in its perfectly mastered format; vinyl LP. It does not get any better than this, and it is yours to own in just a few clicks. This copy has been play-checked on a top-end hi fi and it sounds awesome, breathtaking, and LOUD without any of the shrill CD compression. 'Back in Black' has sold zillions in every conceivable format, but if you want to hear how it really sounds you have to listen to the original Robert Ludwig Masterdisk pressing. All else is, quite frankly, irrelevant.
