Australian Stores Start Selling AC/DC's 'Black Ice' Early

October 17, 2008

Paul Cashmere of Undercover News reports that stores across Australia have broken the embargo for AC/DC's long-awaited new album, "Black Ice", and started selling the CD early. Despite the fact that the album's official Australian release is tomorrow (Saturday, October 18),"Black Ice" is being sold now by just about every store that has it.

One Australian retailer told Undercover News, "We don't care about embargos and the fans don't care about charts. We are here to sell music and the fans are here to buy it. I couldn't care less if Sony has an embargo on it until tomorrow. My customers want it today and I'm giving it to them."
