African Acetates QUESTION ONLY!!!
were these on the actual African re;eases on Let There Be Rock or were they actual releases of the Let There be Rock album, i dont quite understand them i had to say question only because of the sensitivity of the subject
yes i know i wrote that stupid i meant were they only just they tracks that were for testing. or the official relases??
They are rare test mixes that were created by Teal records in Africa not only for the Let There Be Rock album, but for the Powerage and Highway To Hell albums. I know that there are acetates from the Back In Black album (and maybe others) but due to a group of people (I'm choosing not to name names) leaking them out, the source (once again, not naming names) has said that he will not "release" any of the other ones. This started a big feud that eventually came to a head, and is still a bit of a sensitive spot, but it has cooled down. On a side note: a few of the tracks off Highway To Hell were in fact just mono mix-downs of the album version of the tracks, this includes the song Highway To Hell. So I hope this answers your question, and gives you some info on how and why the whole topic of the African Acetates is such an unique subject on the forums (it was actually on three different forums, ACDC-fans.net, Let There Be Rock, and here). (Note to all parties anonymously aforementioned, I am not taking a cheap shot at anyone, and I tried my best to make this as neutral as possible)
thanks that does clear it up better, just i know there is a big time sensitivity when it come to the African version of Let There Be Rock, its got them Acetates and that very special rare purple cover and always seemed like thi crazy thing and needed some clear up in my head
Actually, that version you talk about (the "purple cover" version) is just the official version of Let There Be Rock (the Atlantic release). The only thing different is the cover got screwed up being processed/printed and two colors channels (of the CMYK variety) got swapped. I think I've heard of a version that was a mis-pressing and it accidentally had the same tracks on both sides (I think both sides were the A side).
geezzzzz,once & for all,can we just drop this dumb shit?? trav, i told you b4,the kiddies passing them around did not piss me off,i had me laughing my ass off. the person i was pissed at for leaking them orginally didn't even join in the feud with me & ffp,sua,& the other punks. but at least 1 thing you said above was right,there won't be any others of the test demos ever getting out unless i sell them & that person decides to let them go. nate,can you just close this subject,i'm sick & tired of it coming up over & over again. it's older then the stain in travis's underwear now,lol!!
no i wasnt trying to make this into an issue again it was just curiosity due to false rumors that went around on the internet and i really wanted to make it all clear with myself
Question: Does this come from the Back In Black Acetates? -ac-dc_-_back_in_blackoriginal_unreleased_version
if its from a bootleg you picked up then no, those acetates are very rare finds i believe the "original unreleased version" is just that song off the AC/DC Volts tribute that someone thought was Bon Scott and it started getting thrown on rarity albums
Does this come from the Back In Black Acetates? -ac-dc_-_back_in_blackoriginal_unreleased_version arrrrrggggggg,this is getting rediculous. no,i never let any of the bib acetate material out & as far as i know,only 1 other person has heard a couple of them & it's someone i know i can trust not to let them go out to anyone else. nate,please end this thread & any others concerning this subject,i'm sick & tired of explaining it over & over again.
I don't have the ability to lock a post built yet, so it'll have to stay open for now.
Or, you could perhaps leave it open, since it IS a legit question. How's anyone supposed to learn if they can't ask a question? Granted, it seems to be a touchy subject, though it seems to be simply because of some people's egos and some rivalry I frankly don't give a shit about. If someone can't ask a question, then this forum is useless. There's always someone who's going to be sore regarding something. If you don't want to talk about it, then leave it to someone else to answer. Nate, I say leave this bullshit alone, and tell the respective parties, especially those who have a problem with the subject, to just shut the fuck up next time.
"especially those who have a problem with the subject, to just shut the fuck up next time. " why don't you shut the fuck up b4 it turns into something you will regret you punk ass bitch. you have no bussiness in this subject ,so keep your lame assed comments to youself,stupid damned caniadian punk.
& nate,sorry for the above post,but you know how i get when some asswipe thinks they're gonna say something about me or think they're gonna tell me what to do on here or anywhere else. i think it may be a wise chioce to get that deal where you can lock a topic b4 it gets really ugly again. either that or just plain delete this subject entirely. & again,sorry nate, ;-)
Oh looky. Big man making threats over the internet. I'm shaking in my goddamn boots. Ain't nothing you could possibly say or do that could make me regret anything I say to you, or the rest of the brigade that I've seen bickering about these fucking records. "Baaaw, someone let something only I and one other person have out on the internet! That makes me vewy angwy!" Kiss my ass. You come on here, constantly bragging about how you have this and that, and I'm pleased for you, I really am. But to hold it up above everyone elses heads as if you're king shit of turd mountain, that's just being a cock. Kindly shut the fuck up now.
This stops now. Feel free to continue via PM if it's that big of a deal; if you feel the need, meet up in person for all I care, but keep it off of the forum. If it continues, I'll either start banning people or shut the forum down altogether and we'll all be out of luck. No need for anyone to reply after this message in this thread. As if I didn't have enough other stuff to work on, now it looks like I have to build a way to lock messages because people can't keep their damn mouths shut. Great.
ok, this damn thing is locked. if you wish to talk about this topic, please feel free to contact me privately.
