First album up is AC/DC "Back In Black" XSC 16018 on Atlantic Label. This is their 6th international studio album, released in 1980, and the first released since the death of Bon Scott



Condition of media is VG+ (I use Goldmine standards) and Cover is VG with some creasing edge wear and minor ring wear. Value probably $10. A great hard rock album and a must have for any rock collector. This is probably one of the best selling rock albums ever with classics like Hells Bells, Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution and of course the title track.  Your not going to sleep through this! Play it loud.  I like this best played throught the larger Acoustic Research AR2's with the 10" woofers, the bass really comes through.

Following this is AC/DC "For Those About To Rock" XSD 11111 on Atlantic.  Released in 1981 and went to #1 in the US. 


Contains the classic title track as well as Let's Get It Up. Another great hard rock album, but in my opinion not quite as good as Back in Black.  
VG+ condition of media and sleeve, value $10.
Both this album and Back to Black were garage sale purchases. Bought a box of records mostly from the 80's and early 90's, probably 60 or 70 in total all in plastic sleeves and mostly VG+ condition. This was probably 8 years ago, when you could get a box of records at a garage sale for a few buck, unlike today!

Last AC/DC in my collection is Who Made Who, soundtrack album from the Stephen King film Maximum Overdrive. 1986 release again on Atlantic 78 16501

Media condition is VG+, cover is VG with some water damage. Value $7.  I think my favorite on this album is "Ride On" has a bit of a blues feel to it.
