Bon Scott - The Early Years 1967-1972 (1988 See For Miles)



Talking about Bon Scott doesn't necessarily mean talking about AC/DC. There was a time before AC/DC, which is shown here in 22 songs and an interview. And there's a lot to discover here, if you just musically connect Bon Scott with the blues rockers from Australia.
There are a lot of great songs from 1967-1970 with The Valentines and from 1970-1972 with the band Fraternity.
The CD starts directly with the Spector classic'' To Know You Is To Love You'' and continues with really fine pop songs. I don't know how successful The Valentines were in Oceania but they were definitely a great pop band.
In the works with Fraternity you can already hear the typical Bon Scott style of the later years clearly. With Fraternity Scott has already indicated the direction in which he would later be very successful (until his tragic death) with Blues Boogie Rock.
This is an absolutely great compilation about the Scott years before AC/DC.
