    This is one of the top heavy albums of it's time. Not sure if fidelity actually matters.

                Hi,has anyone hurd of a splatter wax colour vinyl uk issue? Someone has just sold one on ebay for £1500 as far as I'm aware the only official colour vinyl of power age Lp is the red Canadian issue? Unless anybody knows any different? Really hope it's a bootleg as I turned one down a year ago for £50!

                  Down Payment Blues just does it for me. At the end of that song I have never heard Bon Scott so true, so deep, totally into the lyrics that he wrote. I can't write what I feel when he sings that song. Gets me every time.
