AC/DC's 1976 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic.
Description of High Voltage:
In 1976, when the Eagles, Peter Frampton, and Heart ruled the rock airwaves, along came five scruffy young men (the lead guitarist was maybe all of 18 and dressed in a schoolboy's uniform) from Australia playing some of the rowdiest, hardest, dirtiest rock of all time. Screaming "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," singer Bon Scott teased like a braggart. Sensing the rock community's growing dissatisfaction with bloated, epic-scaled bands, AC/DC were indeed a high-voltage act: their drummer nailed the beat with fury, their bluesy guitar riffs mutated into something metallic and sharp-edged, and Scott's vocals took the shrillness of early Robert Plant to a leaner and meaner place. "Live Wire" is one of the most electrifying hard rock songs imaginable, "High Voltage" and "TNT" are the musical equivalent of touching exposed nerves with a rusty fork, and "Jack" proves that white rock dudes can, contrary to popular belief, get down. Whew! --Lorry Fleming
High Voltage Reviews:
Balls to Call 
2009-09-26 - This is the first AC/DC album which was released also in USA. This is actually "a compilation" os two first AC/DC albums "High Voltage" and "T.N.T.". It is probably the rawest AC/DC album you can ever hear. The tracks "T.N.T.", "High Voltage" and "The Jack" can still be found in AC/DC's setlist. I like the panpies in the opening track. Many of the tracks are still classics but the songs like "Little Lover" and "She's Got Balls" are terrible. I don't wanna think balls when I am thinking of girls. I don't wanna imagine girls with balls. Yak! Still, often unfamous AC/DC albums which has its moments. This is the album that still has Bon Scott singing.
Stars: T.N.T., Live Wire, It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)
This is AC/DC 
2009-08-14 - This album was the start of the Bon Scott era of AC/DC and what a start it is. We don't get amazing debuts like this anymore, this is truly an album for the ages. The music is so good it could have been released anytime and even released now and be a total hit. The tunder from down under!
Masterpiece.
2009-07-27 - What can I say? Ever since I was a kid I loved this album. TNT, High Voltage, Long Way to The Top. Masterpiece, just like just about all their albums.

2009-07-08 - The cd's great came in just in time no scratches of any knid nothing more or less.
Hello, America
2009-06-04 - This was AC/DC's first American release, cobbling together tracks from their early Australian releases to form "High Voltage." "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" & "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" lead off the album and are two of the best tracks AC/DC has ever recorded. Actually, two of the best rock 'n' roll songs ever recorded. I find "The Jack" and "She's Got Balls" highly annoying but the rest of the songs are solid and AC/DC's 3-chord attack is one of the best that rock music has ever seen. End of story!
