AC/DC - TNT (CD)

All Music Guide

1975's TNT was AC/DC's second full-length release in their native Australia, and when its highlights were combined with the previous year's High Voltage, it would result in the band's 1976 international debut, also entitled High Voltage. Confused yet? Quite understandable, as it was the songs culled from TNT that provide the backbone of that international release, including its title track and the flawless first album side, containing such classics as "The Jack" and "Live Wire." The proto-punk crunch of "TNT" is also introduced, along with a remake of the group's very first single, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl," first released two years earlier with original singer Dave Evans. While of little interest to the casual fan, this hard-to-find package does offer completists some choice treats including a faithful cover of Chuck Berry's "School Days" and a first glimpse of concert favorite "Rocker," later re-recorded for the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap LP.
