    I bought it (again !) for the sake of being a bit of a collectors item. Am I happy with the sound ? It’s ok ….not mind blowing. Think I’ll stick to the 2009 pressing. My copy pops a bit and not much swirl which was disappointing when I opened the record. That being said …. One to keep over time.

      Does the world need this release? NO! Fans have this releases as originals since years. Coloured vinyls doesn´t make it better. Releases like this, only block the pressing plants and really new and good releases have to wait. It's just a waste of resources.

        The best back in black album I have. Definitely better than the 2009er version and looks nicely in black and white. Vinyl is in a really good condition.

          My vinyl has noise at the beginning of each side which is then inaudible due to the music.

            Sounds...ok. Clean and flat.

            But it looks nothing like the images, just a few white blobs round the outer edge on side A and a "halo" round the label on side B

              Why is it the 50th anniversary? It was released in 1980?

                Just find the 1980 Robert Ludwig cut. That’ll blow any pressing of this album out of the water! They’re Never gonna get this right. Remasters of AC/DC are a Complete waste

                  Lots of surface noise, even after US cleaning. No low end punch but at least it’s not overly compressed. Any pre-2003 remaster CD sound better than this. For collectors only.

                    Mine looks awesome, sounds awesome and feels awesome. I got this one, the Back in Black and The Razors Edge albums and they all sound excellent to my ears. Maybe I got lucky, but three times? Maybe you guys were unlucky??

                      My black and white swirl copy looks more like black with a few small blotches of white. What a huge let down. Who ever over saw the pressing of these should be fired and have his head put into the pressing machine because he's clearly not using his brain. I can't be bothered to send it back because I'm fairly certain most of the copies suck.
