About

When Malcolm Young and his younger brother Angus brought Bon Scott on board as AC/DC's lead vocalist, the slightly older Bon was still known as a bit of pop singer for his work with The Valentines. The Bon that emerged–the true Bon–was a whip-smart hellion with a voice and onstage charisma that could churn both wizened bikers and naive teenagers into a frenzy. His 1980 passing was a huge blow to the band but his life is celebrated in this digital box set. The biggest draw here might be the <i>Live from the Atlantic Sessions</i>, recorded at the New York Atlantic Studios in 1977. You can practically smell smoke rising from the over-worked amps on tracks like "Problem Child" and "High Voltage." Also included is an off-the-rails live set recorded two years later in Paris during the <i>Highway to Hell</i> tour. A handful of demos and early versions add extra flavor (most notably "Dirty Eyes," which is basically "Whole Lotta Rosie" with different lyrics). <i>Bonfire</i> also includes the first album to be recorded after Bon's passing, <i>Back in Black</i>.

Bonfire is a 5 disc box set by the Australian band AC/DC, released in 1997, and remastered with a release in Digipak format in 2003. It was created as a tribute to the band's earlier singer Bon Scott and included the two disc soundtrack to the movie Let There be Rock, some early unreleased tracks, a live recording from the Atlantic Records studio in New York and a remastered version of Back in Black.
The box set was originally released in 1997 with the CDs all packaged individually in jewel cases, complete with full artwork. The original issue also features a poster, a backstage pass, keyring and a few other extras depending on the region. When the album was reissued in 2003 it was packaged in a large digipak, similar to a longbox, which featured either 4 or 5 disc trays. The 4-tray versions contained the remastered Back in Black in its own case with booklet. All versions of the box feature a large book full of liner notes and rare pictures of the band, mostly from before Scott's death.
