ACDC : "The Bon Scott Project" DVD

Publié le 19 septembre 2007 par Nico

This double-DVD mixes promo-clips and unseen TV and live appareances.
It contains unreleased material only, in the best quality available at the moment. From 1975 till 1980, a great look over the Bon Scott years, and a nice addition to the officially released DVDs.


The notes below are mainly from the maker of the DVD.

Artwork   
General info Originally, this was a 3 DVD set titled "AC/DC: Promo Clips & TV Appearances". It was gonna be released untouched, for all to share and view. HOWEVER, due to the fact this collection contained a good amount of officially released material, re-authoring had to be done.
DVD Shrink was used to take (no compression) all the unofficially released material, and then TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6 was used to make a simple menu, inspired by the original menus on each disc.
The result of this is a collection of rare promos, TV appearances, and a few audience recordings, that any AC/DC fan (certainly any Bon Scott fan), should have.
As a bonus, a very clean, complete recording of the Arnhem, Holland show from July 13th, 1979 is included.
IMHO, it beats most other versions of Bon Scott era videos, including "The Bon Scott Years" (DVD of 1977-1978 ACDC live performances). The quality is outstanding, both video and soundwise. If you have something better, I'm a taker !
