Editorial Review:
It’s always been quite rare to see AC/DC - unless you go to their concerts. Television appearances, and later music videos, have always been a necessary evil to this band of nononsense rockers. Consequently, only their early years were documented on television - mostly in Australia and Europe - and when the time came to switch to promotional video clips, the band always made their own and gave them the appearance of a live show. But they’ve also never wasted an opportunity to make a big statement with their clips. From singer Bon Scott dressing like a school girl (to Angus Young’s school boy) and smoking(!) on their first major television appearance, to the giant rocking spectacle of the "Big Gun" video (with guest appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger), AC/DC has always been larger than life and their timeless brand of rock and roll has been as big on screen as it has off. Now for the first time Epic Records is proud to announce the first ever compilation of AC/DC videos from all parts of their storied career. Starting in 1975 on Australian TV’s Countdown show through the Spanish TV clips filmed just ten days before Bon Scott’s death - the first great era of the band is chronicled on Disc One. Disc Two starts with the promo videos for Back In Black (several never before available) and sees many of the 80’s and 90’s clips on DVD for the first time. This is truly a monumental collection of clips from one of the world’s greatest bands - all completely remastered for DVD with the same care as the Epic CD remasters and the Live At Donington DVD.
AC/DC - Family Jewels Reviews:
really good item for the ac/dc fan 
2009-10-23 - this is a fantastic gift for any ac/dc fan.
great video, extras, and song selection on here
Bon Scott "is" awesome!
2009-09-12 - A good way to learn about the BEST rock group of all times.
Go AC/DC.
Intenesity!
2009-03-19 - Family Jewels is a fantastic addition to my ever growing collection of AC/DC merchandise. Well it doesn't beat the jam packed seven hour extravaganza that is the AC/DC: Plug Me In (3 disc Limited Edition)it still provides an amazing collection of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson Era music including music videos for You Shook Me All Night Long, Jailbreak, and tons of other hits. It also has rocking live footage like Bon Scott's last taped performance (10 days before he past away)!
Great video, great music!
2009-03-02 - AC/DC's Family Jewels is a great two-disc music video of the late Bon Scott era (disc one), and Brian Johnson (disc two). Best songs on disc one: High Voltage, It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N Roll), Rock 'N Roll Damnation, If You Want Blood (You've Got It), and Highway To Hell. The video of Highway To Hell was taken in Spain, just 10 days before Bon's death, and that video shows him looking rather pale and immobile (rather eerie, almost like you could sense he was sick), unlike his other videos where he dances on stage quite a bit. Disc two standouts are For Those About To Rock (We Salute You), Who Made Who, You Shook Me All Night Long, Thunderstruck, and my alltime favorite song with Brian, Monetalks. You won't be dissapointed in this great set of music from the best in the biz. AC/DC rocks! Forever!
The perfect pair
2008-05-30 - This 2-DVD set is what we all want to see, AC/DC's greatest music videos (interspersed with awesome live performances) of both eras of this legendary band (up the the Razor's Edge album). Fans of Bon Scott will particularly enjoy the first DVD, it has one of the earliest TV performances by AC/DC with their first steady lead singer, Scott. Most fans don't know that AC/DC released a single with a different lead singer, Dave Evans, but they made the right choice and dumped him for Bon Scott's world-known howls.
