AC/DC: The Encyclopaedia

by Malcolm Dome, Jerry Ewing

Focusing on key elements surrounding a group that stands alongside legends such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin, this book reveals the phenomenon that is AC/DC. Covering past and present members, songs, gigs, events, albums, bootlegs, producers, and numerous other subjects, this exhaustive overview spans an extraordinary 35-year musical career—from the very earliest incarnations of the band prior to Bon Scott’s arrival, through the era in which he fronted the band and his untimely death, to the wildly successful landmark record Back in Black , all the way to their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and beyond. Detailing a group that has sold an estimated 150 million albums worldwide, this is the definitive reference of one of music history’s most notable pioneers of hard rock.

[Ben Davies · Rating 5 out of 5]

As AC/DC are my favorite band, it made perfect sense to buy this book. It gives lots of information on the band's albums, live albums, major live performances, singles, DVD's, bootlegs, box sets, compilation albums and related bands. It's an excellent guide to the band with lots of useful info. Only bad thing is that a few songs are missed out and there are a few spelling mistakes, but apart from that, a star buy!
