AC/DC's seventh studio album, "Back in Black" was originally released in July 1980. It was the first LP to be recorded with vocalist Brian Johnson after the band's original lead singer, Bon Scott, died in early 1980. The record contains some of AC/DC's biggest hits, including "Hells Bells", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and the title track. According to guitarist Angus Young, the album's all-black cover was a sign of mourning for Scott. The LP was produced by the now legendary Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who had previously worked with the band on "Highway to Hell".
