Question
Hi Bill,
My cousin is an avid ac/dc fan so for xmas i though i would buy him an original vinyl of highway to hell for memorabilia sake.
After giving it him this afternoon and opening it we saw on the label on the actual record it highway to hell is spelt hihgway to hell
just wondered if its a rare misspelling there for worth more
cheers
Rich
Hello Rich,
Thank you for your question. If the "Highway To Hell" pressing is on Atlantic Records or Albert (Australia) and the label has a misprint on it, this will generally increase the value to a collector seeking mis-pressings. Something like this may add an additional 15-20% of the actual value of the item itself in this case.
Best Regards,
Bill
