Relix Reborn
AC/DC – BACK IN BLACK
Forged in the shadow of loss, Back In Black marked the resurrection of AC/DC—the album where grief sharpened into defiance and the bells of mourning became bells of war.
This 1980 US 1st Pressing (MO plant), bearing the gray AC/DC outline, carries the raw thunder of a band stepping from tragedy into legend. A pillar of hard rock’s iron age, its riffs strike like hammers, its rhythm marches like soldiers, and its voice roars with the fire of a world refusing to fall silent.
This relic includes its Original Inner Sleeve, the iconic black-clad companion to one of history’s most triumphant returns. Whether claimed for listening or for the vault of collectors, this copy stands as a testament to the album that turned sorrow into immortality.
Key Features:
-
1st US Monarch Pressing — SD 16018 with MO plant code and gray-outline cover, the earliest and most sought-after U.S. variation.
-
Original Inner Sleeve Included — features the classic black-on-white credit layout unique to early 1980 copies.
-
Sound & Substance — renowned for its powerful Monarch mastering, delivering tight bass, sharp attack, and the heavy crunch AC/DC intended.
Key TracKs:
-
Back In Black — the immortal riff; a resurrection anthem built from thunder and grit.
-
Shoot to Thrill — high-voltage swagger with razor-edged rhythm and Johnson’s scorching delivery.
-
Hells Bells — the tolling bell of new beginnings, cutting through darkness with iconic menace.
