The reason for the short lifespan probably had something to do with the fact that their R&B-tinged rock was unremarkable. This 1973 title is re-issued now because it features Angus and Malcolm Young on guitar, who would go on to fame with AC/DC.
Fans should not expect the music here to sound like early AC/DC, even though songs like "Quick Reaction," "Ape Man" and "Shot in the Head" hint at what was to come.
A half dozen rarities are appended here to the original album track list. Tales of Old Grand-Daddy is far from bad but it does sound very dated; the most fanatic of AC/DC completists will want to check it out but there's not much here to interest the rest of us.
