"Walk All Over You" comes off Highway to Hell, the AC/DC album that hit the shops on 27 July 1979, and it's a Bon Scott, Angus Young and Malcolm Young job. Scott sings, Angus and Malcolm handle the guitars, and Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd lock down bass and drums.
The whole record was a bet on America. Atlantic's US arm, which had turned down Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, reckoned the band could crack the States with a producer who knew his way around radio, so after years of George Young and Harry Vanda behind the desk they went with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the first of three albums he'd make with them. Mark Dearnley recorded it and Tony Platt mixed. It was the last album Scott would sing on; he died on 19 February 1980.
