LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES SEPTEMBER 20, 2019-FORTY THREE YEARS AGO BON SCOTT AND AC/DC RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP.’ THIS WAS THE DATE IT WAS RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA. IT WAS RELEASED INTERNATIONALLY IN DECEMBER OF 1976, BUT IN AMERICA IT DIDN’T OFFICIALLY COME OUT UNTIL MARCH OF 1981. THE RECORD COMPANY PUT IT OUT IN AMERICA AFTER THE DEATH OF LEAD SINGER BON SCOTT, TRYING TO CASH IN ON THE GROUP’S SUCCESS OF ‘HIGHWAY TO HELL.’ THE TIMING OF THIS RELEASE FROM THE RECORD COMPANY PISSED OFF THE BAND TO NO END BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO ESTABLISH BRIAN JOHNSON AS BON’S REPLACEMENT, AND HAD COMPETING ALBUMS OUT WITH THE RELEASE OF ‘BACK IN BLACK.’ DOUCHEBAG RECORD COMPANIES.
HERE’S THE TITLE TRACK FROM ‘DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP.’
