AC/DC: Blow Up Your Video (1988)


I didn't hear this record when it cam outing 1988. I was busy with other records, from Morrissey, New Order, Sisters of Mercy, Shriekback, etc.

The title of the album was taken from a line in the song "That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll". In 1988 Angus Young explained the title to MTV Australia: "We were probably a band that's best seen in a live situation and that's how the title came about... 'Cause everything's automatic these days. A kid can flick on the button on a TV, he's got a remote control and he can zoom through everything and get it coming in from all over the world. You can turn on your radio and get rock coming in from America. For us, the best thing as a band it was always we were great onstage." [source]

It's not bad, IMHO.
