Description

It may seem difficult for some to take a drool flecked runt dressed in schoolboy shorts seriously as a guitarist, but if you listen closely to Angus Young’s serpentine solo in “Let’s Get It Up,” you’ll hear his unabashed blues roots shining through.

“Let’s Get It Up” is a single from the album, For Those About To Rock. B-side is a scorching rendition of Back In Black recorded live in ’81.

“Let’s Get It Up” is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, first released on their 1981 album For Those About to Rock We Salute You, and later as its first single.

Singer Brian Johnson summarised the track to Kerrang!’s Sylvie Simmons as “Filth, pure filth. We’re a filthy band.”

Live version of “Back in Black” as B-sides on the UK’s version of the single, recorded in Landover, Maryland, in December 1981.
