AC/DC's inaugural internationally released album, High Voltage, is a seminal work that showcases the band's unbridled energy and hard rock prowess. Released on 14 May 1976, this iconic album compiled tracks from their first two Australia-only issued albums, High Voltage and T.N.T., both from 1975. The resulting collection is a masterclass in rock music, featuring anthemic tracks like 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)' and 'T.N.T.'.

Produced by George Young and Harry Vanda, High Voltage is a testament to the band's early chemistry, with Angus Young, Bon Scott, and Malcolm Young delivering standout performances. The album's 44-minute duration is packed with classic rock staples, including 'Rock 'N' Roll Singer', 'The Jack', and 'Live Wire', demonstrating AC/DC's ability to craft infectious, hard-hitting songs that have become synonymous with their brand of rock and roll.

Initially released on Atlantic Records in the UK and ATCO Records in the US, High Voltage was a commercial success, introducing the band's unique sound to a global audience. With its raw, unbridled energy and memorable tracks, High Voltage remains an essential listen for fans of rock music, offering a glimpse into the early days of one of the genre's most beloved and enduring bands. AC/DC's High Voltage is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the raw power and excitement of their formative years.
