Remastered US CD releases - 1994

NOTE: The remastered versions of AC/DC releases are now available in Australia. These remasters go one better than the US versions in that they ALL contain lyrics. (The only US cd's with lyric sheets are '74JB, DDDDC, FOTW and Ballbreaker).


In 1994, WEA released remastered versions of most of the US AC/DC releases on the Atco label. The sound on all of them is superior to the original cd versions which were released on Atlantic. The packaging, for the most part, is superior as well. Here is a list with comments, when necessary, regarding musical & packaging differences in the remasters.

The photo from the lp gatefold sleeve is now included.


HIGH VOLTAGE 92413-2 Released July 1994


DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP 92414-2 Released August 1994

LET THERE BE ROCK 92445-2 Released 9.20.1994
