Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--"Love At First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. "Big Balls", ostensibly a narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a somewhat laboured excuse for the band to chant, "We've got big balls." This juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. On Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, however, AC/DC try too hard. Only on "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)" is Scott's laconic wit deployed to real effect: the sheer glee in the line "Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport!" is almost worth the purchase price on its own. --Andrew Mueller




Rating: - It ain't big and it ain't clever... but it rocks
I first heard this album back in the summer of 1982 and it sounds as good now as it did then. I was already familiar with For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) and I'd heard bits of Highway to Hell and Back in Black but this was what converted me. The songs on this album are infantile, puerile, barely adolescent... and absolutely brilliant.

From the crash-bang-thump intro to the swaggering title track to the fade out at the end of the distinctly sleazy and tasteless Squealer this is ... Read More

Rating: - erratic
I have to say I'm somewhat puzzled at the glowing reviews posted by other Amazon customers.

I agree that Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap does contain some excellent songs; primarily Problem Child, Ride On, The Chuck Berryesque There's Gonna Be Some Rocking, The 50's rock n roll sounding Rocker and the hugely underrated Ain't No Fun Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire.

The title track, whilst not their best is amusing, with the usual Bon Scott innuendos.

Rating: - NOT the REAL Aussie version!
Please Don't get me wrong...The rating is not for the album...its because I ordered this thinking that it would be the genuine Aussie version with different track listing to the UK version - but received an Australian import of the regular DDDDC readily available in the UK with entirely different artwork to that shown above - so buyers beware - YOU WILL NOT GET THE REAL AUSSIE VERSION!!!!

Rating: - Mighty Fine
Sometimes, this album appears to be sadly under rated by many fans & I'm not sure why. It may be that at times the smutty humour apparent in some of the work, gets a bit too "Carry On"- don't let that adversely influence you, this is a fine record & knocks spots off most of the competition.
Classics still abound on this album. "Rocker" & "Problem Child" are arguably the stand out tracks on this record but "Aint No Fun" is a very well put together rock n roll song & as already mentioned, ... Read More

Rating: - AC/DC at their best
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is quintessential AC/DC; simple pounding guitars, raspy vocals and clever lyrics. Dirty Deeds is a snapshot of AC/DC's best work with Bon Scott and it's a wonderful album.

The guitars in this album provide us with some of AC/DC's catchiest tunes. Songs like "Rocker" will stick in your head for days. It amazes me how a band can make such a great song off of what is actually a very very simple guitar riff.

Lyrically, this is some of AC/DC's greatest work. The ... Read More
