Description

AC/DC – Let There Be Rock

Original 1977 1st Australian Pressing Sample Record (Promo)
 Blue "roo" Albert Productions labels -
Blue, with the elusive kangaroo, and an EMI "Sample Record. Not For Sale" promo sticker on the A side label.
In superb original condition.
The gatefold cover is Excellent. The labels are Excellent / Excellent. The vinyl is Near Mint / Excellent.
 The audio is Near Mint / Near Mint.
This album was released just before Albert Productions decided to discontinue using the Roo as a way to identify Australian Recordings (late '77 early '78)
Albert Productions were now preparing the company for sale on the international market, with Sony (Japan) eventually buying it out 2 years later.
This would be the last AC/DC album to carry the "Blue Roo" and this album had only a small initial 1977 run with "Blue Roo" labels, which is why so very few of them exist, in comparison to all of their previous albums.
Issued with gatefold sleeve.
Recorded at Albert Studios, Sydney, Australia.

This first pressing has a kangaroo emblem on the label

Track B2 for only the Australian and New Zealand versions is "Crabsody in Blue". All others countries it is "Problem Child".
Label: Albert Productions – APLP.022, Albert Productions – APLP-022 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold Country: Australia Released: Jun 1977 Genre: Rock, Blues Style: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues Rock
