Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

AC/DC

Gritty, street-level hard rock defined by Bon Scott's mischievous snarl and the Young brothers' bone-dry, interlocking guitar riffs. Raw, funny, and menacing.

September 20, 1976 · Phonex

A gritty, street-wise blend of schoolyard rebellion and back-alley menace.

Moments Worth Listening For
The menacing spoken-word delivery of the phone number in the title track, sounding like a genuine back-alley solicitation.
The seven-minute slow-burn boogie of 'Ain't No Fun' where the band locks into a hypnotic, repetitive groove that feels like a long night at a pub.
The deadpan, upper-crust vocal delivery on 'Big Balls' that transforms a crude joke into a bizarre piece of musical theater.
