Notes

It took five years for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap to hit record stores in the United States, and for AC/DC fans, it was worth the wait.  Recorded in Australia shortly after High Voltage, Dirty Deeds was released in the U.K. but never reached the United States.  It was too raunchy of an album for U.S. record stores to sell.  But after Bon Scott's death there was a high demand for more Bon Scott material, so then it was finally released in the U.S. and hit number three on the pop charts.

Recommendations

If you are an AC/DC collector or Bon Scott collector, you must have this in your collection.  In my opinion I believe it is impossible to pass up on any Bon Scott material.  This album may not be as much as a power house as High Voltage or Highway To Hell, but it's still Bon Scott, and you know what that means, it's dynamite!

If you plan on purchasing Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

You must pick up the 2003 remastered version.  All AC/DC albums have been remastered with new packaging, fabulous liner notes, and CD ROM extra footage features.  AC/DC may have the greatest CD package on the market today.  The liner notes tell a continuing story on the band.  Each disc continues the story where the previous disc left off.  You should be able to purchase this CD at any Best Buy, or local record store.  It is not out of print, and is fairly easy to find.  Do not pay more than $11.99, with the use of Cdnow.com and local record stores, you should find it lower than twelve dollars.
