Stiff Upper Lip is the 14th studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It was released on 28 February 2000.[10] The album was produced by George Young, older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young. It was the last AC/DC album that George produced before his death in 2017.

The album was re-released in the US in April 2007 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series. It was re-released in the UK in 2005.

Background
The Young brothers began writing songs for what would become Stiff Upper Lip in the summer of 1997 in London and the Netherlands, with Malcolm on guitar and Angus on drums. By February 1998 the songs were completed.[11] The band had planned on recording a new album with Canadian Bruce Fairbairn, who had produced the enormously successful The Razors Edge and AC/DC Live, but Fairbairn died in May 1999.

The Youngs turned to their older brother George, who had produced 1988`s Blow Up Your Video as well as the band`s early albums with Harry Vanda, and Mike Fraser, who had co-produced 1995`s Ballbreaker, with Rick Rubin, to complete Stiff Upper Lip.

Recording
The album was recorded and mixed at Bryan Adams` Warehouse Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada between September and November 1999. 18 songs were recorded in all.[12] In 2000, bassist Cliff Williams remarked to VH1`s Behind the Music: `It`s a killer album. It was a very easy-to-record album in as much as Malcolm and Angus had everything ready to go, so we basically just had to come along and perform as best we could.`

According to Arnaud Durieux`s memoir AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll, Malcolm takes a rare guitar solo on `Can`t Stand Still`, while Angus does the backing vocals on `Hold Me Back`. The album delves even deeper into the band`s blues roots than its predecessor Ballbreaker and features a remarkably clean sound. In an interview with Alan Di Perna of Guitar World, singer Brian Johnson commented on working with George Young:

In the past he`s always worked with Harry [Vanda]. Not detracting from Harry, but it was kinda streamlined this time. You had no one to answer to or discuss things with except Malcolm or Angus. We were working pretty hard this time actually, from about 11 in the morning until one the next morning sometimes. Saturdays as well. It was good, though. George always had a game plan. I hate it when you`re hanging around waiting for the next decision. George always had it all worked out.
