AC/DC - Now on iTunes!

AC/DC's entire back catalogue has now been released on iTunes for the first time ever! You can get all of their studio and live albums plus the 1984 EP, ' '74 Jailbreak '. The brand new album 'Live at River Plate' is on there too.


Two exclusive collections have also gone on sale. The first (AC/DC: The Collection) features all 15 studio albums while the second (The Complete Collection) also includes the live albums. They are priced at $99.99 and $150 respectivly.

Iron Man 2 hit Number 1 in the UK charts in 2010 based on CD sales alone and it didn't even feature any new tracks, but the option for legal downloads will help increase their sales even futher in the near future.

The Essential Run-D.M.C. Released!

The brand new compilation album 'The Essential Run-D.M.C.' was released two days ago on October 30th. Even though I saw the album on AllMusic on the release day, I only just relealised that it was a new release today! *facepalm*.
Anyway, this is a 2 disc set making it the longest and most comprehensive Run DMC compilation to date.
Jason Nevins' 1998 hit remix of 'It's Like That' is omited this time but 'Christmas in Hollis' is included. This means that, like Ultimate Run-D.M.C., there are two tracks on this album which can not be found on any studio releases from the group (the other track is 'Here We Go').
It looks like this could be the best Run-D.M.C. compilation out there however, it lacks the DVD which was included with Ultimate Run-D.M.C. but if you just want the music, you can't do much wrong with this.
