Ranked as the sixth best-selling album of all time, Back In Black might be the purest distillation of hard rock ever. The title track, “Back In Black”, along with “Hells Bells” and “You Shook Me All Night Long”, have become enduring anthems of strutting blues-based guitar – all employing the relentless logic of a sledgehammer. Guitar and vocal overdubs were recorded at Electric Lady Studios during June of 1980, with producer Mutt Lang and engineer Tony Platt, who upon completion mixed the album in our Studio A.
Side Note: AC/DC was the first band since The Beatles to have four albums in the British Top 100 simultaneously, as “Highway to Hell”, “If You Want Blood, You’ve Got It”, and “Let There Be Rock” re-entered the charts upon the release of Back In Black.
