Flick Of The Switch
AC/DC
Seeking a stripped-back feel that mirrored their early club performances, the group handled production duties themselves. The result delivers a gritty, simple energy that functions as a direct strike compared to the glossy finish of their earlier hits.
Working within the Bahamas at Compass Point Studios, the band focused on a return to their fundamentals. One hears a dry, muscular style throughout songs such as Guns For Hire, which emphasizes a hard rock foundation without unnecessary studio tricks.
