23 Rare AC/DC songs
There are several flip sides of AC/DC singles that are now no longer
available. There are both studio, and live cuts.
STUDIO:
Can I Sit Next To You Girl/Rockin' In The Parlour - These were the A
and B sides of the lone single released with Dave Evans as singer.
Rockin' In The Parlour is available on the 'Albert Archives'
Compilation
which was released in Australia. CD: 465395, LP: APLP 037
Fling Thing - This was released as the b side to the Jailbreak single
off DDDDC in Australia. It is an instrumental arrangement of a
Scottish
Highland Fling.
Carry Me Home - A song from the DDDDC sessions, which was released on
the flip side of the Australian 'Dog Eat Dog' single.
Cold Hearted Man - A song from the Powerage sessions, that found its
way
onto the LP in Europe only. It was also released as a limited edition
12"
bonus single to the LP version of an Australian box set that contained
the
first 6 AC/DC studio albums (T.N.T., High Voltage, DDDDC, Let There Be
Rock,
Powerage, Highway To Hell). Note: The box set also contained an iron
on patch
of the AC/DC logo in flames, the same design that was on the box set
cover.
Snake Eye - A song from the Blow Up Your Video sessions. Released on
the
UK 'Heatseeker' cd single (A9136 CD).
Borrowed Time - Another BUYV outtake. Available as the flip side on
various
versions of the 'Moneytalks' single (US cassingle, German cd single).
Down On The Borderline - Yet another BUYV product. Available on the
Australian 'Moneytalks' cd single (Albert 656500 2).
Alright Tonight - This is another tune from the BUYV sessions. It was
released in 1996 on a 7" vinyl single in Europe. This is NOT an
official
AC/DC release.
Let It Loose - Another BUYV era song. Released on various colored
vinyl
(purple, green marble) singles as "Let It Lose" with Heatseeker on the
A side. Sound quality on this song is mediocre, lotsa reverb on BJ's
voice.
This is NOT an official AC/DC release.
