High Voltage专辑介绍

1974年6月,AC/DC的第一张单曲在悉尼的Albert录音室录制。当时的阵容是Malcolm Young, Angus Young, Dave Evans, Rob Bailey和Peter Clack。他们录了两首歌,Can I Sit Next To You Girl和Rockin' In The Parlour,是由Harry Vanda和George Young制作的。这张单曲由澳大利亚的Albert公司和新西兰的Polydor公司在6月发行。它成了本地区的上榜歌曲。随后他们横穿澳大利亚,举行了一次大的俱乐部巡演。在墨尔本的Hard Rock Café 演出后,俱乐部老板Michael Browning成了AC/DC的经纪人。Browing被证明是乐队的精明选择,在以后的几年中,他为乐队作出了不少重要的决策。他的第一个也是最重要的决策是雇用了一个司机来载着乐队到处跑;这个司机叫Ronald Belford Scott,熟悉的人都叫他Bon,也就是Bon Scott。他劝说Young兄弟给他一个机会来当乐队的鼓手,后来又要求当主唱。在他们试用他以后,Bon取代了Dave Evans,成为乐队的新主唱。1975年1月,AC/DC录制了他们的第一张专辑High Voltage(高压),这时的阵容是Malcolm Young,Angus Young,Bon Scott,George Young(贝司)和Tony Kerrante(鼓手)。专辑经过10天混音后,于1975年2月发行。High Voltage马上在澳大利亚取得了成功。专辑及它的第一首单曲Baby Please Don't Go在3月都打入了澳大利亚排行榜。

1975年6月,乐队发行了一张独立单曲High Voltage(最初是为High Voltage专辑写的,但未及时完成)。单曲发行的同时,AC/DC在墨尔本的节日大厅举行了一场演出。他们的现场被四台摄影机从不同的角度拍下,目的是为了制作一部高水准的影带,他们在努力尝试引起国外大唱片公司的注意。

One of the perennial complaints about AC/DC is that they've never changed - and if that's true, High Voltage is the blueprint they've followed all their career. Comprised of highlights from their first two Australian albums - 1975's TNT and its '76 follow-up, also entitled High Voltage - the album has every single one of AC/DC's archetypes. There are songs about rock & roll, slow sleazy blues, high-voltage boogie, double entendres so obvious they qualify as single-entendres and, of course, the monster riffs of Angus Young, so big and bold they bruise the listener upon contact. It's those riffs - so catchy, they sound lifted when they're original, so simple they're often wrongly dismissed as easy - that give the music its backbone, the foundation for Bon Scott to get dirty, and rockers never got quite as dirty as Bon Scott. Scott sounded as if you could catch a disease by listening to him. He sounded like the gateman at hell, somebody who never hid the notion that lurking behind the door are some bad, dangerous things, but they're also fun, too, and he made no apologies for that. But for as primal as High Voltage is, it's also a lot weirder and funnier than it's given credit for, too - those are bagpipes that solo on "It's a Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock & Roll)" and "She's Got Balls" is perversely funny dirty joke. This is music so primal that it's enduring - it feels like it existed before AC/DC got there, and it will exist long afterward. And if AC/DC did wind up bettering this blueprint in the future, there's no question that this original is still potent, even thrilling no matter how many times they returned to the well, or how many times this record is played.
