Description: This is extremely rare Japan “PROMO ONLY Picture Disc” copy ( released in 1981 ) of AC/DC, coming with an ultra rare original yellow flyer. The disc is beautiful colorful picture one, housed in PVC outer-cover.

Though there's limited edition counterfeit of this album, it’s easy to prove that this copy is the genuine original one. Clear difference between genuine copy and counterfeit is:

1. Original picture disc uses clear vinyl with clear outer-rim, though counterfeit uses black vinyl with black outer-rim ( See photo…the rim is clear ).

2. Original copy has stamped matrix on the run-out groove of “PS – 180 – 1 ( Side A ) / PS – 180 – 2 ( Side B )”, the counterfeit has no matrix on the run-out groove.

3. The counterfeit copy’s PVC cover has a white sticker, showing a serial number of limited edition, but original copy does not have it.


This original copy includes 12 tracks ( See the track-list below ). It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Back in black, Shake a leg, Let me put my love into you, You shook me all night long, Shoot to thrill, Hells bells

Side B: Highway to hell, Beating around the bush, Touch too much, Riff raff, Hell ain7t a bad place to be, Whole Lotta Rosie


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Vinyl Outer Cover / Disc )


PVC OUTER COVER: PVC Cover partly wrinkles in left bottom corner & right bottom-rim. The top-flap also has corner crease. It’s been long in the bookshelf, which caused creases. Slight stain-marks are in part on each side. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, strip & writing…OK

DISC: Disc is good in condition. It has light stain-marks on the surface of Side B and center label of Side A, as usual with this album. Otherwise it has no scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which is to be rated as “VG+”. It has been long in PVC bag and kept in the shelf, which leads to the surface stain-marks.

FLYER: EX-, being lightly creased in corners.
