I love AC/DC, so I would like it either way and this in my top three favorite AC/DC records but buying the Vinyl blew my mind!!! I have some original LP's and some new ones [like this one]. I cannot tell much difference in quality or anything else. I have a bitter-sweet feeling about the remastered versions... I love the reviews inside and the better quality sound but I would like the nostalgia of the original records from Atlantic and to see what the original sleeve's had in them, etc. the album is sturdy and the case is what is expected. Vinyl requires more care than CD"s or other media formats but provides so much more depth to the music in my opinion. I have a very cheap record player so I think that is why the low end sounds are not very audible on my system. I will be buying a better system soon and will review my Highway to Hell album after listening to that later.

I love AC/DC. Therefore, I am going to like it either way. however, the sound of vinyl cannot be overstated. It is so unique and has more ambience and sounds more authentic. The songs are great. the order is great. the material is good quality and I think it was definitely worth the money. The only problem I personally have is that it does not have a lot of low end sounds... BUT I think that is more to do with my record player than the album... my record player is very cheap and with low watts.
What's great about it: AWESOME songs and great inside reviews
Cited as the single most elaborate and ambitious documentary miniseries ever created under the auspices of the History Channel network, America: The Story of Us offers a sweeping and comprehensive chronicle of the individuals, events and philosophies that shaped the United States. The twelve-part program spans four centuries, from the early 1700s into the volatile first decade of the 21st century, and covers milestones including, the erection of the transcontinental railway, construction of the very first steel skyscrapers, and the 1969 moon landing. The narrative approach involves filtering these seminal occurrences through the eyes of the various citizens who experienced them, such as frontiersmen, slaves, immigrants and inventors. Numerous celebrity participants also turn up to share their thoughts on America itself, and what being an American means - including Buzz Aldrin, Meryl Streep, Melissa Etheridge, Donald Trump and others.
I liked the show overall. However, I was disappointed that they neglected, or glossed over, certain points in history that have helped shape American society. For example, they completely skip Reconstruction. Also, although it is nice to see familiar faces talking about history... I highly doubt the validity of commentators like Donald trump and other popular icons.
What's great about it: Very entertaining, full of live action portrayals, engaging, and relatively informative
What's not so great: skips some important points in American history
