Description

DESCRIPTION ITEM: VINYL SINGLE -45rpm 7”
ARTIST: ACDC
TRACKS:
Jail Break/You Take the High Road (Fling Thing/Bonny?)
COUNTRY PRINTED: OZ
VINYL: (Grade at EXCELLENT)
LABEL: (Grade at EXCELLENT+)
WRITING ON LABEL: Both labels appear to have the very faint "reverse" ink impression of information from another label
Side 1- Handwritten "Jail Break" :
Side 2- Handwritten "You Take the High Road" :

COMMENT: This double-sided 7' single has "Jail Break" timed at 4:08 and "You Take the High Road" timed at 1:52.
The handwritten label for side 2 is "You Take the High Road", from my enquiries it appears that this was later issued as"Fling Thing" and then later changed to "Bonny." In the comments below, you will find some descriptions of the "Fling Thing" release in regard to the audience singing in the background. This does NOT apply to this single. I don't have a stock copy of "Fling Thing" to compare this with, but in the last 40 seconds or so, you hear the band talking in the background. I can't identify the individual voices, but you may be able to. This track does not seem to have been made as an attempt at getting down a track for release, it sounds more like a "we've still got some studio time, let's try this."

Bonny is a song performed by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, based on the traditional Scottish ballad The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond and played as a tribute to the band's original lead singer, Bon Scott. This song was featured on AC/DC's live album, Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition. Those who listen carefully can hear the fans sing the ballad. Only Angus Young plays the riff to this song. It was originally called "Fling Thing", but was renamed "Bonny" after the death of Bon Scott in 1980.

BONNY
AC/DC LIVE (1993)
The song in question is Loch Lomond, which goes something like the following:
I'll take the high road
And you'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond


Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

AC/DC's mammoth power-chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early '70s. AC/DC's rock was minimalist — no matter how huge and bludgeoning the guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. Combined with Bon Scott's larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades.
