The Day Australian Rock History Was Rewritten Forever with This Iconic Album

September 25, 1975, marked a pivotal moment in Australian rock history as the country's favorite sons, AC/DC, catapulted to the top of the charts with their thunderous debut album, High Voltage.

Produced by the legendary Harry Vanda, a guitarist and founding member of Easybeats, High Voltage was the outcome of rigorous touring and recording sessions. The hard work paid off when the album rose to No. 1 on the Australian music charts, breaking the barriers that once separated local rock bands from international success.

Featuring some of their most definitive tracks, including 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)' and 'T.N.T.,' High Voltage ignited a powerful presence that Australian music hadn't witnessed in years. These early days shaped the band's distinctive sound and showcased the unique blend of Bon Scott's unwavering vocals and Angus Young's energetic guitar playing.

The triumph of High Voltage ultimately became the spark that lit the flame for an iconic career – catapulting AC/DC into global stardom and leaving an undying mark on the world of rock music.
