    My copy of this is a cutout, and the inner sleeve is not printed but is clearly what the record was in when it was originally cut out. Runouts and EAST embossing match.

      well, the first 2 songs kinda suck, the drums sound like a drum machine, and the guitars are missing almost all of the grit required for the proper AC FUCKING DC Sound.

      but you know what? make this an 8-song LP by dropping "Rising Power" and "This House Is On Fire", and i'll tell ya what. it makes me think dropping those 2 tracks, and its right up there with "Back In Black"; and i enjoy it way way more than "For Those About To Rock".

      probably the best record Mutt Lange had nothing to do with. and i Love Mutt!!!
