AC/DC is a hard rock band from Australia, formed in 1973 by Angus and Malcolm Young. Over the years, the band has undergone several lineup changes and collaborations with talented musicians. They have achieved immense success worldwide and are considered Australia's most successful rock band ever. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003 as a performer.

The band's journey began with Angus and Malcolm Young teaming up with Dave Evans, Larry Van Kriedt, and Colin Burgess. As they progressed, there were various changes in their lineup, including replacements for vocals, bass, and drums. Notably, Bon Scott joined as the vocalist after Dave Evans left in 1974.

In 1980 tragedy struck when Bon Scott passed away at the age of 33. Brian Johnson then stepped in to fill his shoes on vocals for AC/DC's iconic album "Back In Black," which became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The band continued to evolve over the years with new members joining and departing.

Doxy is a Russian bootleg label that specializes in vinyl reissues. They have also launched the Dig-A-Log Series, which focuses on album reissues on vinyl and includes a bonus CD of the album. In addition, they have introduced a new line called ACV, using clear-native co-polymer for their vinyl process to reduce electrical distortion on records. Doxy's catalog includes CDs and boxsets.

By 1977 AC/DC were barely having a night off! Following just a few days respite in Sydney for 1976's Christmas and New Year period, having only stopped performing a week before on 23rd December while on their 'Giant Dose of Rock 'N' Roll Australia Tour', they resumed their gigs on 2nd January in their hometown. They continued in Australia until the middle of February, playing almost nightly, then travelled to the UK - at the time home to their second biggest audience - to resume their 'Dirty Deeds' Tour in Britain. Playing 28 nights on the trot, starting in Edinburgh on the 18th Feb - just 3 days after their final gig down under - and finishing at the Croydon Greyhound (a satellite town 10 miles out of London) on the 20th, plus another couple of shows right at the end of the month, the group's next venture was a support slot on a Black Sabbath tour of Europe that continued until the late spring. A month or so back in London and Australia, where a few club dates were performed, was followed by the boy's first ever tour of the USA. The 'Let There Be Rock US Summer Tour' found AC/DC playing support to many higher profile rock groups and began in Austin, Texas' capital city, on 27th July '77 at the bizarrely named 'Armadillo World Headquarters', a music venue since 1970. Supporting the popular-at-the-time-but-ever-forgettable Canadian rockers Moxy, in front of an audience of 1,500, it was just the kind of exposure 'DC were hoping for. The tour went on until 7th September by which time the group had performed in eight states, mostly in the South and Mid-West plus a couple of gigs-a-piece in LA, San Francisco and New York. On the 22nd August they played at Cleveland, Ohio's famous venue the Agora Ballroom (their third visit to the venue on the same tour) supporting Mink Deville. The show, in front of an estimated 2,000 people, was a triumph and the whole shebang was broadcast across local FM radio
