Description

🎸 AC/DC – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Original Australian Early Pressing – Albert Productions APLP-020 (1976/77)
Highly collectable Australian-only artwork + original Aussie tracklist including “R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)” and “Jailbreak”.

This is a genuine, fully authentic Australian Albert Productions pressing, cut and pressed in Sydney and featuring the rare Australian-exclusive cartoon sleeve and the original running order that differs from all later international versions.

The labels are the desirable early Albert purple labels with yellow perimeter, used immediately after the very rare “Blue Roo” first pressing and pressed using the same early metalwork. These remain highly sought after by AC/DC collectors worldwide.

✅ CONDITION

💿 Vinyl: EX (Excellent)

• Beautiful gloss and superb playback
• No deep marks or significant wear
• Only very light hairlines visible under strong light
• Clean labels with minimal spindle traces
• Hand-etched matrices consistent with genuine early Alberts
A strong EX — very hard to find on Australian pressings.

📀 Sleeve: VG (with typical Aussie wear)

• Original 1976 Australian sleeve with iconic Kevin Atkinson cartoon artwork
• Edge wear and light creasing
• Small areas of old tape reinforcement on the bottom seam (very common on Albert sleeves)
• Light ring wear and general ageing
Still presents well — fully intact, no tears, no writing.
