List of rare AC/DC songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian hard rock band AC/DC released their first six albums in two different versions; Australian-only releases and international releases. Some songs on the Australian versions of the albums were not released on international albums and other songs were released only on singles. Thus, these songs can be said to be rare.
This list includes songs from the Dave Evans, Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras.
