"The Jack" turns up on T.N.T., AC/DC's second album, which came out in December 1975 in Australia and New Zealand only. Bon Scott sings lead with Malcolm Young on backing vocals, Angus and Malcolm play the electric guitars, Mark Evans is on bass and Phil Rudd on drums, and the song is credited to Scott and the two Youngs.

T.N.T. was the first AC/DC record with Evans and Rudd, and the one where the band stopped experimenting and dug into the hard-edged, R&B-rooted rock and roll that became their trademark. They made it back at Albert Studios in Sydney with Harry Vanda and George Young producing, George being Angus and Malcolm's older brother and a hitmaker in his own right with the Easybeats.
