Talk:AC/DC discography/Archive 1

Format
To conform with WikiProject Albums, this discography needs to use the following format: ~Gertlex 00:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Album names should be italicized using two 's on each side of the name. Example: Album yields Album
 * Song names should not be italicized, but instead should have double quotes ("s) around the name. Example: "Song" not Song.
 * As of 2010-06-08 all albums and song titles are entered properly. Should this entry by archived so people don't waste time reviewing this recommendation and trying to comply? Music Sorter (talk) 05:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Merge
I've proposed AC/DC remasters be merged into this article as I don't feel an article about remastered albums warrants its own article. It would be more relevant for it to be merged into this article. ĤĶ51→Łalk 22:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Australian and international releases
I don't think it was really necessary to split the discography in Australian and international releases. All the records, starting from Powerage, are essentially the same. I think it would have been a better idea to create a split discography until 1977 and then merge everything from 1978.

Missing ALbums
What about the Bootleg/Unauthorized release, Bon Scott Forever in 2000? Shouldn't that be on this list to?

Another one, Giganten Des Rock? I can only find info on Disc 2, on last.fm. I have disc 1 and 2...

Third, the The Very Best album of AC/DC?

And, the A Vulgar Display Of Ultra Rare Tracks cd, I could only find torrent downloads for the album, no info. Is it fake, or?

Also, Safe in Cincinnati. I did find info that these aren't fake. Check here and here.

(Also, I'm KristofferAG on the norwegian WP. 80.203.5.125 07:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

There's also an album titled "Bon, Please Don't Go" released in 1990 which I did not see under the page AC/DC_discography. It's difficult to find info. on these bootleg albums but here's one site I did locate an Album art and track listing with release info as well:

Greatest Hell's Hits?
The compilation Greatest Hell's hits released in 2009 is not mentioned. Moreover this probably implies that the sentence "the band always refused to release any greatest hits type packages" in the introduction is not true anymore.

Clean Up Studio Albums
In my humble opinion the 'Studio Albums' section needs a cleanup because I think that '74 Jailbreak, Who Made Who and Volts are not studio albums - Rubiobarga (talk) 19:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Neither is Iron Man 2 soundtrack. Jailbreak is an EP, and Who Made Who and Iron Man 2 are compilations. Muttdog (talk) 17:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

War Machine and Money Made
People keep saying these songs have been released as singles and they keep adding them here. But others say that War Machine is the b-side of Rock'n'Roll Train - which I think sounds more plausible, and that sorta defeats the purpose of listing it as a single. And Money Made as single? Where? I'm not saying they're not singles, I'm just saying I'd like someone to please look into this and find out for sure whether they're singles or b-sides or just album tracks or what. And, yes, I must admit the main reason for my suspicion is a) that three singles in so short time sounds a little heady and b) that only a moron would release anything else than Big Jack as the second single (please don't be offended by this, I meant it with humour). But anyways, some definitive confirmation as to whether these songs are singles or not is needed.

"a) that three singles in so short time sounds a little heady" 4 singles in two years sounds plausible. Muttdog (talk) 21:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Live At River Plate
There is no such live album with this title. Only a live concert DVD. So this section that has this as a live album must be removed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westvoja (talk • contribs) 18:09, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Changes
I wanted to talk to you about the AC/DC page, This is the edit I made which was reverted after. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AC/DC_discography&oldid=608564117 Now the whole page is the same accept for 2 parts first the Live albums section which I removed the 2nd live album from it being the same as the other but 2 discs instead of one, (IMO - most greatest hits and live albums come in 1 or 2 disc releases but they aren't always listed twice so I think this would be a great place to use your re release notes.) And lastly the studio albums section I removed the Dirty Deeds & Let There Be Rock albums from being listed twice due to both albums being the same accept for track listing and artwork and both take you to the same page and thought it made sense to keep the albums only listed once. Kind regards Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC).


 * The deal with the two versions of the Live album is that they both charted separately as seperate releases, and they have separate certifications as well. So somehow they both have to be listed with their chart/certifications info. I basically agree with you about the Aussie versions of those two albums, but this discography has release dates and labels, which complicates things. Your edit had them released on the Albert label, which was only true in Australia, so somehow we'll have to get around that too. Somebody on the talk page suggested splitting the discographies into Aussie and International until Powerage, but I'm not so sure about that. It's much less of a task than the Mac discography though so I'm sure we'll sort it. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:21, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply, while I don't like it I understand about the live album so that is sorted, the other section if you take another look at the link I posted above I did list both release dates and labels of Australia and internationally. Kind regards Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC).


 * Yeah, on Wikipedia sometimes we all have to accept stuff we don't really like. That's why it sucks sometimes. Sorry, my mistake on the other thing – I've got two points: 1) That format of two release dates and labels makes the row a bit big, maybe make that info small or something? 2) Some of the other albums have different release dates too, we should probably put those in as well. Off to bed now but we can fix this tomorrow if you want. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:00, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, so what do you think of those two points? Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:07, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I agree I was never happy with how wide big the row was made but couldn't think of a better way at the time. Do you agree that them 2 albums should only be listed once? Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I don't think they really deserve separate rows. That's probably a throwback to how AC/DC fans look at those albums – they do tend to treat them separately because of the different covers etc. But one row is enough here, I think. How about just showing the earliest release date? And maybe both labels? Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:17, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I was previewing the changes and accidentally hit save instead of preview (I am on my iPad) rather than me revert it if you take a look and we can change it from that, the only difference is the studio albums (writing needs to be made smaller.) Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:20, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I have done what you suggested see what you think I think it looks tidy. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks better already. We should probably reduce "Albert Productions" to just "Albert" – a) to save room, and b) we've already reduced "Atlantic Records" to just "Atlantic" so it'd be consistent. Apart from that it looks OK to me. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:28, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

That looks so much better I hate it when articles are overly big or long when they don't need to be. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:33, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That's true, as long as they contain everything that's necessary and relevant, nothing else is needed. That guy Fugreena had a point about all the excess formatting, I'll admit that. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Do you think there needs to be any more changes to the article I think the music video section could do with being sourced/sorted. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to bombard you with questions but do you think the Powerage release date should be changed as it is listed as 25/May but it was originally released on the 05/May. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:44, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes to Powerage, whatever is the earliest date. The videos all look legit to me, although AC/DC: Let There Be Rock is listed twice for a reason I can't quite see. The sourcing could do with fixing up a bit. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I think AC/DC: Let There Be Rock is listed twice because of the re-issue the same with no bull both could be listed just once as both only go to 1 page. What do you think of the music videos section there is loads of directors missing Ect. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:07, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd say both could be listed once, as long as the information (label/format/certifications) are merged and not deleted. It's important not to delete that stuff. Music videos, yeah, a lot of those with the director missing aren't really videos – they're just live shows recorded, especially everything from 1978. I'll go through them and take those out when I have time. There's more info in this list than the Fleetwood Mac one, so maybe it's OK to keep it. Needs sourcing though. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:19, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

OK I have done that it looks good I hope you agree. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:29, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's cool. Good catch with the Moscow video, you're right, that's several bands on that one. I've put the No Bull chart positions back in as it did chart, and I've reduced "Albert Productions" back to "Albert" like on the albums. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:47, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, sorry I didn't realise I forgot to add the chart positions back. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:59, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

If anyone has any constructive comments about the changes User:Lukejordan02 and I have made, please have your say. I've moved our discussion here and apologies to anyone who felt left out. We should have discussed it here first. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:29, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Missing Album

 * It's listed under the soundtrack album section, as it was an album consisting of largely previously released material, compiled for the film MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 05:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
