On February 19, 1980, the members of AC/DC were dealt what was likely to be a death blow to their band when their amazing lead singer, Bon Scott, passed away in an unfortunate mishap at the age of 33. Devastated by the loss of Scott's voice, the group leaned toward disbanding. After some discussion, the group decided that they would continue on only if they could find a lead singer who could prove comparable to their departed leader. Amazingly, after only a few weeks of searching, they discovered a singer by the name of Brian Johnson who, like Scott, had a powerful, raspy voice that suited the band's signature style. A few short months later, the newly re-tooled group would enter the studio and make an album that they would dedicate to their fallen singer. It would be called "Back in Black," and would serve as the band's best-selling, most successful and well-known album of their entire career. Offered for your bidding pleasure is a pressing of the group's smash-hit album, beautifully hand-signed in silver metallic marker by all five members of the group: Brian Johnson, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd. The cover exhibits moderate handling wear, with surface rubbing and some creasing. However, signed specimens of this album are in extremely limited supply, in part due to the fact that it was always difficult to get all five members to sign in the metallic marker necessary to have the album signed. Now, with Malcolm Young's death in 2017, no new complete signed versions are likely to surface on the market, barring an unknown collection being released. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire one of the most coveted group signed albums in modern rock history! The vinyl is included. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
