Wax of the Week #61...AC/DC: Fly on the Wall (1985)

Haven’t heard this since it came out, but I remember a couple of good songs from the local Metal Shop radio show of the time, so couldn’t resist picking up a cheap copy recently (come to find out it was cheap cause it’s full of skips!). “Sink the Pink” still sounds great, flashing me back to rockin’ summer kegger parties in the woods, or driving to a big concert, doing things we shouldn’t. “Shake Your Foundations” is pretty good, but no other songs really stand out. Can’t say I’m familiar with any complete LPs after this one, except for The Razor's Edge and Ballbreaker, neither of which did anything for me. Cover art by Todd Schorr, later a well-known underground painter. (The videos for these songs are terrible.)
