AC/DC have announced plans to mark their half-century in showbiz by releasing their back catalogue on gold vinyl. The band, who played their first live show on New Years Eve in 1973 at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, will release the albums on March 15.
In addition to the gold vinyl releases (we're not sure if this will be true metallic "gold" vinyl of the kind they used to occasionally manufacture back in the 1970s, or the dull, mustard-coloured plastic generally advertised as "gold" in 2024), 1979's classic Highway To Hell will be reissued on "Hellfire" vinyl, and the following year's Back In Black will be available as a nifty black and while swirl variant. Each album will be packaged with a 12"x12" print which is, we're told, "suitable for framing."
