There are some classic songs on ‘Razors Edge’ that became firm favorites with the live crowds, allowing AC/DC to spice up the live set.

Within eighteen months, three British musicians went from virtual obscurity to being part of the best known rock band in the world. By the end of 1971, Led Zeppelin IV, on pre-sales, went to #1 all over the world.
