Let There Be Rock is the fourth studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC. It was originally released on 21 March 1977 in Australasia, through Albert Productions label. A modified international edition was released on 25 July 1977, through Atlantic Records. It was the last AC/DC album to feature Mark Evans on bass.

Background
In late 1976 AC/DC were in a slump. `It was very close to being all over`, manager Michael Browning said. `Things were progressing very well in London and Europe. We`d been through a whole thing with the Marquee where they broke all the house records. We`d done the `Lock Up Your Daughters` UK tour and the Reading Festival. It was all shaping up really well.` [3] `In the middle of the tour, I get a phone call saying Atlantic Records in America didn`t like the Dirty Deeds album`, said Browning. `That, in fact, they were going to drop the group from the label. And that`s when things got really bad.`

`There was always a siege mentality about that band. But once we all found out that Atlantic had knocked us back the attitude was: `Fuck them! Who the fuck do they think they are?` So from that point onwards it was: `Fuck, we`ll show them!` We were seriously fucking pissed off about it. It didn`t need to be discussed. We were going to go in and make that album and shove it up their arse!`

— Mark Evans
Angus Young said, `Our brother George asked us what kind of album we wanted to make and we said it would be great if we could just make a lot of guitar riffs, because we were all fired up after doing all this touring.`[4]

The song makes several references: Book of Genesis, Schmaltz, Blues, Roll Over Beethoven and The Seven Year Itch

Artwork
The Australian cover features the fingers of guitarist Chris Turner, from Australian band Buffalo. `There was a bloke called Colin Stead, who was in Buffalo for about ten minutes,` Turner recalled. `He was also the centrefold photographer for Playboy. He phoned me up and said he was doing the album cover for Let There Be Rock, but AC/DC were out of town, so could I help out? He wanted a flash guitar run up and down the neck. Apparently, when he saw it, Angus said, `He`s got fat fingers, hasn`t he?"[5]

The cover of the international version, released in July 1977, marked the first appearance of the band`s now iconic logo, designed by Gerard Huerta. The photograph used for the international cover was taken at a concert on 19 March 1977 at the Kursaal Ballroom, Southend, Essex, UK, by rock photographer Keith Morris.[6]

Notes

For the original Australian vinyl release a different version of `Go Down` was used. This version has an early fade-out, changing the length of the song to only 5:17.
Track 5, `Problem Child`, was originally released on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in 1976. This is a shortened version of the original, missing the reprise coda.
For the original vinyl release, in all markets other than the US, Canada and Japan, `Crabsody in Blue` was featured instead of `Problem Child`.
