High Voltage by AC/DC
High Voltage is an album by AC/DC, released in 1975. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Soul Stripper”, on 6 lists with a best position of #143.
High Voltage, AC/DC's debut, came out on 17 February 1975, and only in Australia and New Zealand, with the production team of Vanda & Young at the controls. The Sydney band had churned through singers, bassists and drummers since Angus and Malcolm Young started it in 1973, but by now Bon Scott had taken the microphone, and his rasp changes everything.
It's hard rock with the blues bolted underneath and the rock and roll left raw, which is exactly what the band has always called it. Angus plays lead, Malcolm locks down the rhythm, and "Soul Stripper" grinds along like a fever dream. Don't confuse it with the High Voltage the rest of the world got in 1976: that one shared the title but brought a very different set of songs.
