3 CD's

CD 1 – STUDIO RARITIES
This CD, for the first time, collects AC/DC’s 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 band’s live rarities from singles, CD pros, compilations and other oddities. All have been remastered from original sources for optimum sound quality.

2DVD's

"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…).

 164 Page Coffee Table Book

164 pages of rare and unseen photos spanning 1974-2009 plus full-size re-prints of original press releases, tour itineraries, tour books, test pressing labels, advertisements and much more. A real history of the band from the inside out. Rare photography includes never-before-seen shots of the band recording at the Albert Music studio on King Street in Sydney with legendary producers Harry Vanda and George Young in 1977. Also tons of unpublished live shots from all over the world.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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" (60cm*90cm) poster is suitable for framing.

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.
