One of the best albums ever released. Poetic lyrics, raw real emotion you can feel, blues rock compositions. What's not to love?

Don't let the lack of big hits and famous songs fool you: Powerage is one of the best LPs that AC/DC did. Just kickass, gritty Rock from top to bottom, beginning to end.

Powerage is the first AC/DC album to be released nearly simultaneously in both Australian and international markets, and the first to use just one cover image for both. It was also the first to feature the same track listing on all versions, with the exception of the European vinyl edition (specifically, the first UK pressing of the LP). This version included “Cold Hearted Man”, a song that was not previously released, and would not be released on any other AC/DC album until 2009′s AC/DC Backtracks box set, but which became more widely available through the box set of Bon Scott-era vinyl LP albums in 1987, the first reissue of a set first released in 1981.

The first UK pressing also includes different mixes than all later versions, most markedly on “Down Payment Blues” (which excludes the bluesy coda heard on later pressings) and “What’s Next to the Moon,” which omits solos and backing vocals heard on later pressings. Within the 1987 box set, the song was packaged on a single sided 12-inch single. In some territories, Powerage omitted “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation”. This was due to a rushed job in getting the LP to pressing plants in time for the release date, hence “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation” (which was not yet completed) was omitted, “Cold Hearted Man” was added, and the rushed mixes are different than the ‘finished’ mixes that were thereafter used. Powerage marked the studio debut of bassist Cliff Williams. It was the band’s last Bon Scott-era studio release to feature production work by Harry Vanda and George Young.
