VARIOUS – Let There Be RocknRoll, The RocknRoots Of AC/DC (Repress) – LP – Vinyl [MAR 14]

LP – Black Vinyl (2025 Repress).

Rock and Rock roots, deep down under? Youd better believe it! The roots of Australian rockers AC/DC lie in the whirlwind of original fifties rock and roll.

In the early days the group would cut their teeth on the club circuit with a live set that would include a handful of band originals, a few Rolling Stones numbers plus many crowd pleasing Rock and Roll classics.

The Sydney club and bar scene was rough so you had to get the punters on your side.

With their original singer Dave Evans at the helm the group who play residencies at the likes of the New Hampton Court Hotel in Sydney entertaining with their own brand of loud guitar takes of Carol and Bye Bye Johnny by Chuck Berry, Tutti Frutti by Little Richard, as well as rocking standards like Shake,rattle and roll and Blue Suede Shoes.

Cranking out cover versions didnt die even when the group composed more original material, a version of School Days by Chuck Berry would appear on their second album TNT, whilst Baby Please Dont Go would be pulled from their original 1975 debut album High Voltage and issued as a single in America.

These roots are the reason that AC/DC have become one of the best loved bands on the planet who never fail to deliver the goods every time…….
