“Jailbreak” by AC/DC

"Jailbreak" closes the Australian edition of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, AC/DC's third album at home, released in September 1976, though the single was already out in Australia and Britain by mid-year with the non-album "Fling Thing" on the flip. Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott wrote it. Scott sings, Angus and Malcolm handle the electric guitars, Mark Evans and Phil Rudd hold down bass and drums, and Harry Vanda and George Young produced.

Because it was left off the international version of the album, American, Canadian and Japanese fans had to wait until October 1984, when it surfaced on the '74 Jailbreak EP. Britain reissued the single in a picture sleeve in 1980, and Brian Johnson, Scott's replacement, sang it on the 1992 live album, with Angus stretching out the solos.
