 High Voltage (Australian album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Voltage is the first studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released in February 1975.
AC/DC was still developing its sound when High Voltage was recorded in September 1974, and Scott and the Young brothers were backed by a different rhythm section than the Mark Evans/Phil Rudd combination featured on their next three full-length studio recordings.
Released in May 1976, and featuring a different cover, the international version of High Voltage was a compilation of the original Australian edition and its follow-up, the Australia-only T.N.T. album.

The album was released in Australia in February of 1975.
Their first two albums, High Voltage and TNT, would be combined into one for their first UK and America album, also titled High Voltage, in 1976.
The album's title song also solidified their image in the US as true bad boys, as the US audience up to this point still hadn't heard many of their other, earlier songs, like "Big Balls" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"; not yet anyway.

AC/DC's debut album, High Voltage, is a stripped-down collection of loud, raw, rude rockers, mostly odes to rock & roll and its attendant hard-partying lifestyle -- to paraphrase the leadoff track, "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," getting drunk, stoned, beat up, and laid.
The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose.

HIGH VOLTAGE was the first chance America had to glimpse the raw power of Australia's best hard rock outfit.
The group's intent is perfectly clear from the disc's opening power chords: to distil rock and mutate the blues down to its barest essentials in a pulverising whomp.

Anyway, "High Voltage" is really a compilation of the group's first two Australian albums and it's one of the essential AC/DC recordings of the Bon Scott era.
The album is actually a compilation of two albums issued earlier in their Australian homeland "High Voltage" and "TNT".
"High Voltage," in short, is one of those albums that, as you grow up, and if you are in a place in your life in those tender years to be touched by music, that you kind of live by.

High Voltage originated in Australia in 1975 with a quite different tracklist than the 1976 worldwide release of the album.

AC/DC and High Voltage meant the beginning of a new era in Rock music, a very rebellious and hard-hitting one.

It was set aside to be included in a first album, had they recorded one with Dave Evans, which obviously did not happen.
The song was recorded shortly after the completion of the "High Voltage" album, with the line-up Young - Young - Scott, with George Young on bass and most likely Phil Rudd on drums, in his first recording with AC/DC.
However, in what appears to be a mistake by Atlantic, the American, European and Japanese CD versions of the album contain the original non-remix version from "Fly On The Wall", leaving only the Australian CD with the correct "remixed" version.

And to throw a couple of spanners in the works ships are now floating around that rely on higher voltages to make that thing at the back turn; not just a mere 440volts to play around with but a mighty whack of 6000volts; (just say out loud "6000 volts" and you get a little tingle).

It was the first album released by the Australian rockers in America.
My only complaint on re-hearing this album in remaster form after more than 15 years, is that the JACK has lyrics that are very different to the current (last ten years or so) version of the song, and it is really Bon Scotts lyrics that are so very superior in form to what Brian sings.
High Voltage also has a great riff and a great chorus.Can I Sit Next To You Girl is not all that great, but at least its not bad.

T.N.T. is the second studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released in December 1975.
Seven of the album's nine songs were written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.
Whereas High Voltage featured more of a glam rock-influenced sound, T.N.T. saw the band fully embrace the formula for which they would become famous: hard-edged, rhythm and blues-based rock 'n' roll with a high level of distortion in the lead and rhythm guitars.

 Rolling Stone : High Voltage : Review
When Bon Scott leered, "Lock up your daughter, lock up your wife, lock up your back door," on AC/DC's North American debut album, High Voltage (1976), he wasn't so much issuing a threat as celebrating his inalienable right to be crass.
High Voltage and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976) find the quintet already sure of its strengths: The guitars of brothers Angus and Malcolm Young bark at each other, Phil Rudd swings the beat even as he's pulverizing his kick drum, and Scott brings the raunch 'n' wail.
Yet the band went on to make its 1980 landmark album, Back in Black, in which his iron-lunged replacement, Brian Johnson, bellows, "Have a drink on me" without a shred of shame.

A darker album than its predecessor, HIGH VOLTAGE, this album leans further towards AC/DC's twisted extension in the blues tradition.
Which is not to say that the band relented from its three-chord power riffing for one millisecond.
The album's highlights are "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be", a mighty fist-waver whose references to warmer climates are something that only the most uptight will take seriously and the near classic "Whole Lotta Rosie", which would become one of the band's live staples and show-stoppers.
