The 5 tracks that make up '74 Jailbreak had already been released in Australia.  "Jailbreak" was released on the Australian version of Dirty Deeds, while the other four were released on the Australian version of High Voltage. 

Recommendations

I realize that there are only 5 tracks here, but it is worth picking up.  Bon Scott to me is the voice to AC/DC, making this a must have.  I remember my first listen to this album.  I recently had been listening to Brian Johnson AC/DC, threw this album in, which was new material to me at that time, and I was just amazed.  It literally felt good to hear some Bon Scott.  "Jailbreak" is a classic track and "You ain't got a hold on me" reminds me of "T.N.T." (Drum parts)

If you plan on purchasing '74 Jailbreak

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.  Check out Cdnow.com as well, they sometimes have discounted rates on AC/DC albums.

If you don't plan on purchasing '74 Jailbreak but want to hear some tracks from it

I have listed my personal top five tracks from this album (lol).  The title track is fantastic, so you must own that for your AC/DC collection. If interested you should check out Itunes or Napster to download a couple tracks that I recommend.  I also have my ideal compilation for the band on my AC/DC home page.
