Predators and Prey

[Ravofox]

At what point did I break social distancing? I wasn't even in that furpile but drinking at six feet from my friends.

You really want that punishment, don't you?

I may be small and sleek, but I am really dangerous.

*Smirks*

(I guess Elias is pretty drunk)

"My bad!" *whimpers* "Please no, that scaly flamethrower gave me punishment enough!!" *pats down smouldering tail*

Hmm, I haven't done a Rock and Metal fact for a while, and since this is The last day before I start community Service, why not do one? ^^

AC/DC Album Covers

You may think that something simple as an album cover might not give you enough to talk to. But that's wrong with AC/DC albums, especially in the Bon Scott era.
The thing is:
In Australia (where the band got founded in 1974), the albums were released under the label "Albert Productions". Internationally, they were released under the label "Atlantic".

Some albuma didn't even have the same Tracklist, even when they had the same name.

So let's start with their first album, "High Voltage".
This is the Australian release:

And this is the tracklist:
A1 Baby Please Don't GoWritten-By – Broonzy*
A2 She's Got Balls
A3 Little Lover
A4 Stick Around
B1 Soul Stripper
B2 You Ain't Got A Hold On Me
B3 Love Song
B4 Show Business

And here's the international release:

Tracklist:
It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) 5:10
The Rock 'N' Roll Singer 5:00
The Jack 5:50
Live Wire 5:45
T.N.T. 3:30
Can I Sit Next To You Girl 4:06
Little Lover 5:26
She's Got Balls 4:46
High Voltage 4:18

Now this is an almost completely different tracklist. You may ask yourself: where do these songs come from? Did they go to studio twice, for each release?
Well, not exactly. These tracks come from their Secons release, "T.N.T."
Well at least in Australia, because the album "T.N.T." has never been internationally released, so it's Albert Productions only:

Tracklist:
A1 It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)
A2 The Rock 'N' Roll Singer
A3 The Jack
A4 Live Wire
B1 T.N.T.
B2 Rocker
B3 Can I Sit Next To You Girl
B4 High Voltage
B5 School DaysWritten-By – C. Berry*


So a pretty chaotic start for this band. But it doesn't end here. Their second album (internationally), and third Album (in Australia), was called "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".
Here again we have two different covers, and a slightly different tracklist:

Australia:

A1 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
A2 Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)
A3 There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'
A4 Problem Child
B1 Squealer
B2 Big Balls
B3 R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)
B4 Ride On
B5 Jailbreak

International release:

A1 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 3:46
A2 Love At First Feel 3:05
A3 Big Balls 2:39
A4 Rocker 2:46
A5 Problem Child 5:43
B1 There's Gonna Be Some Rockin' 3:14
B2 Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire) 6:51
B3 Ride On 5:47
B4 Squealer


Now their third album (internationally), and fourth (in Australia) was called "Let There Be Rock". Here they finally used the same tracklist, but still different covers.

Australia:

International:

Tracklist on both:
Go Down 5:20
Dog Eat Dog 3:30
Let There Be Rock 6:12
Bad Boy Boogie 4:29
Problem Child 5:50
Overdose 6:03
Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be 4:20
Whole Lotta Rosie


The next release, "Powerage" finally used the same cover for both versions:

Tracklist for most versions:
A1 Rock 'N' Roll Damnation 3:35
A2 Down Payment Blues 6:20
A3 Gimme A Bullet 3:00
A4 Riff Raff 5:14
B1 Sin City 4:40
B2 Next To The Moon 3:15
B3 Gone Shootin 4:05
B4 Up To My Neck In You 4:58
B5 Kicked In The Teeth 3:45

There are some releases that also include the song "Cold Hearted Man".

So you think they started to use the same covers now? Nope
The next album, "Highway To Hell" has different covers again, though the same Tracklist for all versions.

Australia:

International:

Also, Highway To Hell is the only AC/DC album that was released in the GDR, under the Amiga label.
And of course they used get another version ^^
(Maybe the cover looked a bit too rebellious for the communist government?)

GDR version:

So yeah, here you go. As a record collector, it's fun searching for all these different versions, but especially the Australian releases can be very expensive.

Wow, real awesome facts there, Thrash! I actually had no idea about all this.
I think generally, I'm preferring the Australian version covers, they're more creative^^

Hehe, I prefer the Aussie release

But from all those, I think Highway To Hell is the most expensive (it's not even rare).

@Ravofox , can you find me an affordable version?

(I might also get the GDR version one day, that is not too expensive).

Oh, my dad probably has a copy somewhere

*Walks in*
Morning all.

I hope everyone is having a good day.

I've got two days of my challenge left and 14 pictures still to do...
*Goes to get a vat of tea*
I'm feeling confident.
(And I got all the fan art suggestions done, I'll be inking and colouring them first once the other sketches are done.)

pawesome!!! you can do it!!! *hugs tight*
oh, I think Kathleen needs to hose down Elias' burning tail (long story)

You think so? The artists I have linked here clearly show that I am innocent.

that goes without saying, of course!!

Now that that's done, I shall take my leave. It's very late early. Again.
And sorry for barely showing up these days, haven't been feeling like talking much lately.

Anyways, go prey!
Also, Good nigh-- uhm, morning.

I still have standards.

I've got that on my FA page as a personal quote, after a particularly unnerving request.

The pencil sketch of that one looks pretty nice.

Also the Freya Crescent for @Manchesterite is very interesting, I'm looking forward to adding the colour to that one.

(That's not to say the others are pants, it's just those two are the stand out pictures for me)

(If I have the time later I might upload the sketches )

That is all good!

(I guess Elias is pretty drunk)

"My bad!" *whimpers* "Please no, that scaly flamethrower gave me punishment enough!!" *pats down smouldering tail*

Good!

that goes without saying, of course!!

Thank you!

We've talked about a new rule here before, to make following the score easier:

A player is only allowed to make the next post, as soon as he has edited his last one to contain his side and the score.

So you can just post either +1 or -1, but you have to edit first before making the next post.
