AC/DC - Blow Up Your Video
Vinyl LP original 1988 Atlantic Records release -
Sealed In original shrink wrapped plastic / As New - Promotional copy
AC DC s eleventh album - Blow Up Your Video is one of the better albums AC/DC efforts put out during the Brian Johnson years.
As Ultimate Classic Rock .com said:
AC/DC's prior two studio albums, 1983's Flick of the Switch and 1985's Fly on the Wall, had both paled in comparison to prior mega-triumphs For Those About to Rock and Back in Black, creatively speaking. In fact, were it not for the Who Made Who soundtrack-cum-greatest hits gimmick to raise the band's commercial profile, their career might have been in some real danger.
There were many problems contributing to AC/DC's fall from grace -- Malcolm Young's escalating alcoholism; Phil Rudd's ejection; even complacency, sure -- but perhaps the most obvious of these addressed by Blow Up Your Video was bringing back an actual producer to work with the band in the studio. And who better to simultaneously put the boys at ease and whip their asses into gear than the Vanda & Young team that had shepherded their first five albums to fruition?
It worked, for the most part.
Let's be honest: many of the new songs ("Some Sin for Nuthin," "'Ruff Stuff") proved almost as pedestrian and imminently forgettable as those recent efforts, but a pair of bona fide hits in the frantic "Heatseeker" and infectious "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll" proved AC/DC could still compose hits without totally losing their balls.

Condition:
Record - New - Mint - still sealed.
Album cover - Very Good - Original sticker saying "Includes Heatseeker" on cover. The front cover is fine & in the photos, what you see is a reflection off the original shrink wrap, that is not on the cover itself - it's just a reflection of what was around when photos were taken. There is some minor wear along spine from age as seen in photo. There is a small promotional cut on the side the sleeve and record comes out on - unusual as promo copies are normally cut on the spine.The cut does not affect the record - see photos or ask any questions if you are concerned.
