Question
hi i have always been a great ac/dc fan passed down from my dad. I recently found a number of his records in the loft three i am interested to find out some answers about.i have a ltbr album that has side one playing on side two im assuming this is a misspressing?also i have an album called fling thing which seems to be a old compilations album from bons era?finaly a lp that says BBC transcription of ac/dc live? i no this is alot to ask and i may be being nieve but i need some help on what thses records are about.
Hello Chris,
Thank you for your question.
First, yes the "Let There Be Rock" LP sounds like it would be a mis-press.
The album "Fling Thing" (should be a double LP) is a bootleg/unofficial release that contains various studio and live recordings.
Lastly, the album "BBC Transcription Services" is also likely a bootleg (black and white record label). The original BBC LP's would have had a green and white label, and issued in a very thick LP sleeve (compared to the thinner ones supplied with the bootleg copies).
Best Regards,
Bill
