AC/DC - Live Wires - Paradise Theatre, Boston 21st August 1978 (Limited Edition on Clear Vinyl)
In 1978 AC/DC were still hard at work trying to break the American market. This was the year of the ‘Powerage’ tour and the band was really beginning to hit its stride.
Cliff Williams had settled in as a fully fledged member of AC/DC, Bon Scott was in particularly fine form, and the outstanding quality of the musical results are obvious from this re-mastered version of the live broadcast, which was made from the AC/DC show at the Paradise Theatre in Boston.
*Please note: This release is presented in a heavyweight clear PVC sleeve.

The music on this record was originally produced in the days when vinyl was king.
Vinyl records produce an analog sound that reverberates and creates that famous warm sound you can't find in any other medium. The music and vocals on vinyl records are much closer to the way artists sound live.
Clear vinyl is softer and molds easier during the pressing process. Vinyl is a naturally clear substance. Black vinyl records are created by adding a charcoal /graphite colorant which creates a harder surface and makes it easier to see tracks but can lead to static build up in the cartridge . As a result, the best clarity of sound quality is to be found in using clear vinyl.
NB. Audio recordings from live TV and radio transmissions will always embody the audio limitations of the original sources . Modern digital remastering techniques improve sound quality immeasurably . However, the original broadcast performances have often been recorded and mixed by TV or radio technicians rather than music specialists. Nonetheless clear vinyl will give the very best reproduction given the limitations of the original broadcast sources.
