Background

In late 1976 

AC/DC were in a slump. 

"It was very close to being all over", 

manager 

Michael Browning said.

 "Things were progressing very well

 in London and Europe. 

We'd been through

 a whole thing with

 the Marquee 

where they broke all 

the house records. 

We'd done the

 'Lock Up Your Daughters' 

UK tour 

and the 

Reading Festival. 

It was all shaping up really well." 

 "In the middle of the tour, 

I get a phone call saying 

Atlantic Records

 in America

 didn't like the 

Dirty Deeds album",

 said Browning. 

"That, in fact,

 they were going to drop

 the group from the label. 

And that's when

 things got really bad."

"There was always a siege entality about that band. But once we all found out that Atlantic had knocked us back the attitude was: 'Fuck them! Who the fuck do they think they are?' So from that point onwards it was: 'Fuck, we'll show them!' We were seriously fucking pissed off about it. It didn't need to be discussed. We were going to go in and make that album and shove it up their arse!"

— Mark Evans

 Angus Young said, 

"Our brother George

 asked us what kind of album

 we wanted to make 

and we said it would be

 great if we could just make 

a lot of guitar riffs, 

because we were all fired up

 after doing all this touring."
