Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was finally released in America in 1981, almost six years after it was originally recorded for European circulation. The track listing was changed somewhat for the American release, as "Love at First Feel" replaces "Jailbreak" and "Rock in Peace."

The record certainly has its highlights, such as the title track, "Ride On," and "Big Balls," a hilarious inside joke of a song similar to that of "The Jack."

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is an excellent early album from the best meat and potatoes band of all time, AC/DC.
It is sad, therefore, to point out that Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap didn't appear in the US until 1981 (six years after its original release in the band's native Australia), after lead singer Bon Scott had died and had been replaced by Brian Johnson.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is not the band's best album, and many could make the argument that it wouldn't make the top three albums of the band's career.
AC/DC : Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (369 words)
Originally released in 1975, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap did not hit the U.S. until 1981, when AC/DC became rock icons the previous year and fans were growing hungry for more material featuring the band's late singer, Bon Scott.
The title track became a concert staple for the band, but Dirty Deeds' most well-known track is arguably "Big Balls," a sleazy, ambiguous number that would become one of the band's most well-recognized songs.
On the whole, Dirty Deeds is a fine album with some nice treats for diehards.
