"Soul Stripper" is a Young brothers original from High Voltage, the first AC/DC album, which came out on 17 February 1975 in Australia and New Zealand only, a year before a very different record with the same name carried the band to the rest of the world. Angus and Malcolm wrote it and play the electric guitars, Mark Evans handles bass, Phil Rudd drums, and Vanda & Young produced.
The voice belongs to Bon Scott, who had only taken over the microphone the previous September, after the brothers decided Dave Evans was too much of a glam rocker for them. Scott, a veteran of the Valentines, the Spektors and Fraternity, was Scottish-born like the Youngs and hooked on rock and roll, Little Richard above all, and his arrival redefined the band.
