"AC/DC are the original monsters of rock. Often imitated but never bettered, they have been blowing fans away with their unique brand of rock and roll since the mid-1970s. They survived the death of lead singer Bon Scott, recorded the bestselling metal album of all time and have sold more than 200 million records- and counting- around the world. AC/DC tells their whole story, from the backstreets of Sydney to the world's biggest stadiums, reviews the AC/DC backlist and details every member of the band since it began. Written by Jerry Ewing, rock journalist and serious fan, AC/DC is filled with great images from famous rock photographers and includes images of rare memorabilia from a superb private collection to take you closer than ever to the band."--Page [4] of cover.
