Summary: Lock up your back door and run for your life
Comment: Being a rock guitar freak of two decades' standing, it is with acute embarrassment that I confess to only having heard this record right through for the first time in my 39th year.
Clearly I went to the wrong school and hung out with the wrong, self conscious types, and stupidly we looked askance at this bogan rock. More fool us.
What a remarkable, single minded, self-assured, exuberant record this is, and what a master stroke for a bunch of scot-inflected teenaged Aussies to have settled on such a perceptively observed formula and executed on it so flawlessly (and stuck with it for the thirty years since!). All of rock's evolved extravagant frippery is discarded or reduced down to its elements. The drums mark out a thumping 4/4 on-beat; stereo guitars crank out a primordial syncopated boogie. Bon Scott wails talentedly and indulgently - even cretinously, as the Amazon reviewer puts it - about rogering everything that moves and getting the clap.
All of rock's anachronistic knowingness is jettisoned and in its place the sort of smutty wailings you'd expect from a bunch of teenage dirtbags. The result: a hilarious, ecstatic, and utterly irresistable rock record.

Summary: Rock You Like A Hurricane
Comment: Killer album, one of the best items on here. She's got the Jack, Yeah! Thanx Pepsi & Amazon. Well worth digging through dumpsters looking for points. Meet some interesting folks there.

Summary: The title says is all!
Comment: Simple straight forward high powered Rock n roll!! No need for complexity. The power of High Voltage and Live Wire, coupled with the fun of Little Lover and Can I Sit Next To You Girl added to the not-played-enough Its A Long Way To the Top and over-played TNT make this a must have album in your collection. Only true AC/DC fans know this and other albums deeply enough to appreciate all the great music they made. Go get one for your own!!

Summary: bagpipe in rock excellent
Comment: This cd has some very good songs from early ac/dc with Bon Scott. It is worth your pepsi points to get it. The bagpipe in the first song isvery exceptional

Summary: A Strong Debut!
Comment: Early AC/DC can be a bit confusing, especially for the new fan, as the band had multiple releases, domestic (Australian) and international, and the tracks weren't at all consistent between those releases. Their first, full fledged international release was this album, High Voltage, which is essentially a combination of their first two releases in their native Australia, High Voltage and TNT. From the Australian High Voltage, the band draws only two tracks, those being the "She's Got Balls," and "Little Lover," while seven tracks are pulled from the Australian TNT (yes..."High Voltage" is off of TNT and not the album of the same name). There's no question that there's some great material, here. But the band is still young, and it shows. Their writing isn't quite as strong as on later releases, but it's still a very enjoyable, raw album from a very young band.
Much of the material left off of the international release can be found on '74 Jailbreak.
