Flick of the Switch tuning.
E Standard at concert pitch (A 440). All 10 songs use it.
Not measured yet
TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.
Produced by Angus and Malcolm Young themselves, without Mutt Lange, for a rawer and drier sound, and the last album with Phil Rudd on drums until Ballbreaker. Every song is tabbed in plain E Standard, and nothing on it is on the compilation TuneLit measured, so the Tune buttons use A 440.
