Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--"Love At First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. "Big Balls", ostensibly a narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a somewhat laboured excuse for the band to chant, "We've got big balls." This juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. On Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, however, AC/DC try too hard. Only on "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)" is Scott's laconic wit deployed to real effect: the sheer glee in the line "Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport!" is almost worth the purchase price on its own. --Andrew Mueller

One of the Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Audio CD)
This is one of the "real" (as in Bon Scott) AC/DC's best. The price is justified alone for the wonderful blues of Ride On, surely the band's finest musical moment. Big Balls and Ain't No Fun just add to the pleasure of a great Rock'n'Roll experience; just a shame that they were never the same after Bon Scott left us. By the way why doesn't "Crabsody in Blue" appear on the CD versions of "Let There Be Rock"?

Hidden gem,
This review is from: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Audio CD)
Well, I've always considered DC to be the best rock band ever. I have had a number of albums, and enjoyed them live but for some reason I missed this album.BUY IT. Ok it is 'raw' - none of the clean produced Back in Black (still one of my favourites) but it is fantastic. Dry, powerful and oozing quality - Bon at his best - as good as his fantastic Highway to Hell. The band play in an 'older' rock and roll style but the DC drive is there. Angus may not shine through as he does later but that lets the tracks be balanced. Above all, this just shows what a quality act AC-DC is and is a fitting tribute to Bon Scott - I hope he is down there, beer in one hand, women in another with this playing at full blast in the background. I am not worthy...

AC/DC at their best,

This review is from: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Audio CD)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is quintessential AC/DC; simple pounding guitars, raspy vocals and clever lyrics. Dirty Deeds is a snapshot of AC/DC's best work with Bon Scott and it's a wonderful album.
The guitars in this album provide us with some of AC/DC's catchiest tunes. Songs like "Rocker" will stick in your head for days. It amazes me how a band can make such a great song off of what is actually a very very simple guitar riff. Lyrically, this is some of AC/DC's greatest work. The title track sets the tone of the album, with its story about a guy offering various "dirty deeds" all for "dirt cheap" prices. Songs like "Big Balls" (a self-explanatory title) are just plain hilarious and show Bon Scott at his best as a songwriter; basing the entire song on one big innuendo. I've listened to the song hundreds of times and I still laugh out loud every time I hear it. All in all, this is quintessential AC/DC. This is how their unique sound evolved and grew into their bigger albums. In a nutshell, it's a classic.
