Join the album club and listen along as Steve Lamacq plays AC/DC's Back in Black in full.
Released in July 1980, it was the band's first album to feature singer Brian Johnson, following the death of the band's previous lead singer Bon Scott. The album was the follow up to their commercial breakthrough album - 1979's Highway to Hell. The band had planned to record a follow-up quickly, but in February 1980 Bon Scott died from alcohol poisoning. However, instead of disbanding, AC/DC decided to carry on and recruited Johnson before heading to the Bahamas to record. The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott.
The album was a massive success with estimated sales of 50 million worldwide. It is often stated to be the second biggest album of all time.
