Rock rarely gets better than AC/DC’s Back in Black, and rock has rarely sounded better than it does on this all-analog pressing. “Back in Black was, and still is, a marvel of rock and roll synchronicity: a dynamic new singer; the finest fire in the Young’s riff library; that is at once luminous and bludgeoning,” rightly observes David Fricke in his liner notes to this awesomely restored analog pressing of AC/DC’s breakthrough. From start to finish, the 1980 masterwork remains an archetype of stripped-down hard rock and lewd pleasures. The background story of the 20-times-platinum album matches the caliber of the music.
