General Information Artist: AC/DC Title: Highway to Hell Label: Atlantic Catalog number: SD 19244 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Year: 1979 Country: US Edition: First Pressing Genre: Hard Rock Description Highway to Hell is the sixth studio album by Australian hard rock legends AC/DC, released in July 1979. It represents a pivotal moment in rock history, serving as the band's massive commercial breakthrough in the United States. This was the first AC/DC album produced by the legendary Robert John "Mutt" Lange, whose polished production style helped the band conquer FM radio without losing their raw energy. Tragically, this would be the final album to feature lead singer Bon Scott, who passed away just seven months after its release. The title track, with its iconic opening riff, has become one of the most recognizable anthems in the history of music. Condition Vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) Cover: Factory-sealed, never opened. The original shrink wrap is intact with minor corners wear Notes for collectors This is a rare opportunity to own a preserved piece of rock history: an original 1979 US pressing of Highway to Hell still in its original factory shrink wrap. What makes this specific copy unique is the vintage "Rolling Stone 3.99 Special" sticker on the front. This is not related to the magazine, but to the legendary Chicago-area record store chain Rolling Stone Records, adding a layer of authentic retail provenance that collectors of US pressings highly value. As a "Pre-Barcode" era release (the back cover contains no UPC), this is identified as an early pressing, likely from the initial 1979 run.
