- Both sides of this copy were giving us the big and bold sound we were looking for, earning stunning Nearly Triple Plus (A++ to A+++) grades, just shy of our Shootout Winner – exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- Once again the phenomenally talented Robert Ludwig gets the rock and roll power from the tape onto the vinyl like no one else can
- For Those About To Rock has wall to wall sound and in-the-room presence like you will not believe
- This link will take you to the Hot Stamper pressings of our currently available hardest rockin’ albums

- “AC/DC are the real thing, perhaps the purest major practitioners of hot and snotty rock since Led Zeppelin lumbered off the boards. Other groups, from Van Halen to REO Speedwagon, may base their music on similar elements, but they inevitably emerge from the studio sounding cleaned up and rather too eager for AOR airplay. AC/DC, from the start, have always left the rough edges in. The rough edges are the point, much as they were part of the point of, say, Little Richard in the Fifties or the Rolling Stones in the mid-Sixties.” – Rolling Stone
From the moment the title track began, we knew we were in for a real treat. The transparency and clarity are shocking — we heard texture on the guitars and room around the drums that simply weren’t to be found elsewhere, plus tons of echo and ambience. The vocals are amazing — they’re breathy and full-bodied with loads of texture.
The bottom end is right on the money — big, beefy, and rock-solid.
You probably never thought you’d ever use an AC/DC LP as a demo disc, but this copy will have you reconsidering that notion — it’s alive with rock and roll power chords like nothing you have ever heard.
