Product Description
Collectors Edition Box-Set:
The 12"x12"x4" (30cmx30cmx10cm) exterior box is designed to resemble a
vintage AC/DC guitar amp complete with the original logo that was
spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolms speaker cabinets in
1975. The head of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal
the contents housed within. Oh yeah, the head is also a WORKING GUITAR
AMPLIFIER! Thats right, one watt of pure AC/DC makes this box a truly
unique collectors item. You can PLAY the box set while LISTENING TO the
box set! Check out the videos of Angus using the amp.
CD 1 STUDIO RARITIES
This CD, for the first time, collects AC/DCs studio rarities, many on
CD for the first time. These are all of the songs that the band
recorded throughout their career that appeared on Australian-only LP
releases, movie soundtracks, 7" and 12" single releases, and CD tour
editions, etc. 12 of the 18 tracks are completely unique songs that
have all been remastered to match the unparalleled sound quality of the
rest of the Columbia AC/DC catalog reissues. The other 6 tracks are the
original versions of classic AC/DC songs previously only available on
the original Australian albums. Some restore seconds to the original
fades, others restore guitar solos and choruses. All are highly
sought-after collectibles and have never sounded this good!
CDs 2 & 3 LIVE RARITIES
Like CD 1, this is a collection of the bands live rarities from
singles, CD pros, compilations and other oddities. All have been
remastered from original sources for optimum sound quality.

FAMILY JEWELS - DISC 3
Picking up where the original 2DVD Family Jewels set leaves off (1991),
Family Jewels Disc Three begins with Big Gun the theme song to the
motion picture Last Action Hero itself a rarity on CD 1 the first time
on any AC/DC album! You also get all three music videos from the
Ballbreaker album, three from Stiff Upper Lip and the most recent clips
for Rock N Roll Train and Anything Goes from the #1 album Black Ice.
But there's more! Several clips from the original Family Jewels set
actually had more than one promotional clip. Here are the alternate
versions of those classic videos all on DVD for the first time
LIVE AT THE CIRCUS KRONE - 2003
2003 was a banner year for AC/DC. From their induction into the Rock
AND Roll Hall Of Fame to massive European dates with the Rolling
Stones, the band made several high-profile public appearances
(including the SARS concert in Toronto for 200,000!). One run of shows
found the band returning to their roots playing clubs and theaters
where they thrilled fans with sweaty, stripped-down shows and even
throwing in some rarities they hadn't played in years. This show from
Munich, Germany is the epitome of an inside look at how powerful the
AC/DC show is without all the bells and whistles of the big arena and
stadium shows (well, they did bring the cannons).

Original Memorabilia Reproductions:
I DO IT FOR AC/DC BUTTON
The very first piece of merch the band ever made. This vintage button
measures 2" in diameter and features an early shot of Angus and one of
the first iterations of the band's logo.
"MONEYTALKS" 100 DOLLAR BILL
During the 1991 Razors Edge tour, the band would shower themselves and
the crowd with thousand of dollar bills for the song Moneytalks.
Usually, they would use replica U.S. dollars, as recreated in the 2CD
Collector's Edition of the LIVE album. However, when the band played
Australia, they switched over to a special replica Australian 100
dollar bill, which were never circulated outside of those shows.
ANGUS "BEANIE" STICKER
Also an early piece of merch, this was one of many references to Angus'
school boy persona that proved key to the band's early success. A wild
child on stage who looked like he just busted out of detention, Angus
was the visual centerpiece of the band's show and they took every
opportunity to play that up.
GUITAR PICK
Any new amp needs a fresh guitar pick. This one-time-only
limited-edition pick features the same 1975 speaker cabinet logo as
featured on the back of the amp itself
SOUNDS "LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS" TOUR FLYER
The first major UK tour the band embarked on in 1976 was sponsored by
the music magazine Sounds. Printed on the same coupon paper stock as
the original, it touts A right summer school-time frolic. Includes date
in Glasgow, Cardiff, Liverpool, Birmingham and more. 8" x 5" (20cm x
13cm)
SET OF THREE 8"x10" (20cmx25cm) FINE ART LITHOGRAPHS
Beautifully reproduced on heavy watercolor paper stock, these three
photos provide a rare look at Malcolm, Angus and Bon recording at the
Albert Productions King Street studios in Sydney. The shot of Malcolm
is from 1976 by the renowned photographer Phillip Morris. It shows the
original logo on the back of the amp speaker cabinet. The shots of
Angus and Bon are snapshots from a 1977 session and show Bon in the
vocal booth while Angus records solo overdubs under the watchful eyes
of producers Harry Vanda and George Young. These precious prints are
suitable for framing.
KING STREET STUDIO TRACK SHEET FOR "DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP" MULTITRACKS
An absolute revelation to many AC/DC fans. This is an exact replica of
one of the Albert Productions multi track tape sheets for the Dirty
Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album. On heavy card stock and folded down the
middle (just like the real thing), this has the hand-written 16-track
notes for Harry Vanda and George Young for the songs Jailbreak, Problem
Child, Ride On, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)
itself making its ex-Australia CD debut on this box set!
2'x3' (60cmx90cm) 1977 "LET THERE BE ROCK" EUROPEAN TOUR POSTER
1977 was the year AC/DC really broke big in the UK on the success of
the Let There Be Rock album. In preparation for the big tour there,
this limited-edition poster was created to announce dates and venues.
One of the most colorful and sought-after pieces of AC/DC memorabilia,
this 24"x36" (60cmx90cm) poster is suitable for framing.
BON SCOTT TEMPORARY TATTOO
Fans all over the world have gotten inked just like Bon's famous parrot
tattoo. Now, you can (temporarily) give yourself a tattoo like Bon
sports on the cover of the Australian Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album
cover. A more cartoonish version of the real thing, it features the
album name just like the one on Bon's enormously drawn forearm.
