  • "Stiff Upper Lip" tour packages - 08/01/01
  • A "Stiff Upper Lip Special Tour Edition" package is being released today by Albert Productions thru EMI in Australia. It includes the full album with a bonus CD containing the following:
    · Cyberspace (Non-album track)
    · Back In Black (Live Madrid 96)
    · Hard As A Rock (Live Madrid 96)
    · Ballbreaker (Live Madrid 96)

    · Let There Be Rock (Live Madrid 96)
    · Stiff Upper Lip (Video)
    · Safe In New York City (Video)
    · Satellite Blues (Video)

    The inclusion of 3 videos on a CD (for PC format only) is a premiere for AC/DC and a very cool bonus, specially considering the fact that the clip of "Safe In New York City" has hardly been shown in the US. "Satellite Blues" is also being released as a CD-Single in Australia today, with "Let There Be Rock" live from Madrid 96. It can be ordered at 101cd.com.

    Similarly, on January 24th, EastWest Japan is releasing a "Japan Tour" mini-CD (AMCY-7231, Not packaged with the album) featuring:
    · Stiff Upper Lip
    · Cyberspace
    · Back In Black (Live Madrid 96)
    · Hard As A Rock (Live Madrid 96)
    · Whole Lotta Rosie (Live Madrid 96)

    This is also avaialble at 101cd.com. EastWest Japan is also completing the re-issue of the entire catalog in vinyl-like CD (The same format released last October in Europe) with "High Voltage", "Dirty Deeds", "Let There Be Rock", "Powerage", "74 Jailbreak", "Fly On The Wall", "Who Made Who" and "Blow Up Your Video" being released on January 24th.

  • Fake promo Lp - 01/08/01
  • For those of you who noticed a few so-called "UK Promo-only" Lp's of "If You Want Blood" in colored vinyl surfacing last month, beware. These are simply non-official pirate releases from Germany, with a much lower value, absolutely not "Promo-only" as indicated on the sleeve. For die-hard collectors who have to have it all only...
