‘Blow Up Your Video’ saw the return of producers Harry Vanda and George Young, the older brother to Malcolm and Angus. Vanda and Young worked on AC/DC’s first four studio albums, and when you hear songs like “That’s the Way I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll,” it definitely feels like a return to those early albums with Bon Scott, especially when you listen back to Angus Young’s blistering solo.
