"Squealer" comes off Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, the third AC/DC album, which first hit the racks in 1976 only in Europe, Australia and New Zealand; America had to wait until 1981, more than a year after Bon Scott was gone. Scott wrote it with Angus and Malcolm Young, and it's the working band at full tilt: Scott on lead vocals, the Young brothers on electric guitars, Mark Evans on bass and Phil Rudd on drums. That same crew played on every track, a first for an AC/DC album.
Harry Vanda and George Young, the guitarists' older brother, produced it at Albert Studios, where the sessions began in December 1975, a few months before the band's first tour of Britain.
