Product Description

CD Description

Although AC/DC achieved its greatest commercial success after the death of original vocalist Bon Scott (1980's BACK IN BLACK and 1981's FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK featured replacement Brian Johnson), fans showed that they had not forgotten Scott when DIRTY DEEDS was released in the early '80s for American fans. The album skyrocketed directly to the top of the Billboard charts. Like DIRTY DEEDS, the 1984 EP, '74 JAILBREAK, features tracks previously unavailable domestically.
The anthem "Jailbreak" was issued as a single early on, and proves to be the highlight of '74 JAILBREAK (a promo video was even filmed that resurfaced with the EP's release). Thereare a couple of other early rockers, "You Ain't Got a Hold on Me" and "Show Business", an almost-instrumental ("Soul Stripper"), and a roughed-up take on the blues standard "Baby,Please Don't Go" as well. Fans of Bon Scott-era AC/DC should check out this short-but-solid collection of nearly forgotten songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bon at his best., 11 Sep 2003
This album was released to celebrate ten years of ac/dc, and was sandwhiched in-between the hugely underrated flick of the switch and fly on the wall. These are five songs taken from the first two austrailian albums high voltage and dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
1. Jailbreak - this song is a classic and was played at rock in rio in 1985, one of bons best ever performances - 10/10
2. You aint got a hold on me - another great song, cannot find fault with it, ac/dc at there best - 9/10
3. Show business - what a rif, what a chorus - 10/10
4. Soul striper - one of my favourire dc tracks - 10/10
5. Baby please don't go - a rare dc cover, this was the first single they ever released, another classic - 10/10.

Although th
ere are only five songs on this album it is well worth buying, as it contains five truly great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great purchase as an intro but......, 28 Mar 2005
By SimonD "scjunkie" (Norfolk UK) - See all my reviews
  
The five songs here are culled from Aussie imports of High Voltage, TNT, and Dirty Deeds. Whilst I own this being a completist, and you should too, I would recommend getting the imported versions of the above as their is more 'rare' material to be had. Love Song, RIP and School Days. All of which would of happily sat on this release along with Cold Hearted Man (european Powerage (vinyl version)) and Crabsody In Blue (Aussie Let There Be Rock)making it more 'complete'. If the imports are out of reach then get this as it's the only place you will find them on a UK release. The tracks are just brilliant if a little different due to their '70s origin but they sure do rock. Essential stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jailbreak!, 16 Oct 2004
74 Jailbreak was basically released in order to release the already famous song, "Jailbreak" and they put 4 rare AC/DC songs on it for extra material for the fans.
The song Jailbreak is one of AC/DC's best songs, without a doubt, everything about it is good, Angus' guitar work, and Bon's vocals of course.
The rest of the music is good. You Aint Got A Hold On Me is a very good song, Show Business and Soul Stripper are also good.
However, the other classic on this album is AC/DC's cover of Baby Please Don't Go, the best version out there.

This CD can't be given 5 stars for 1 excellent song and 4 good songs, so it has to be given 4. However it still is a necessity for any ROCK fans!
