AC/DC DVD could break sales records

AC/DC released its new live DVD collection, titled Plug Me In, this week and according to Australia's Daily Telegraph, the retrospective set is poised to shatter sales records all over the world. More than half a million copies have reportedly been ordered internationally for the compilation, which contains over five hours of live and television performances, many of them rare and previously unavailable until now. A limited edition of the set includes a third disc featuring 21 additional performances, along with reproductions of authentic AC/DC memorabilia.

Disc one is devoted to the band's early years with singer Bon Scott, covering the period between 1975 and 1979. Among the highlights are the band's first U.K. television appearance in July of 1976, the first public performance of "Highway to Hell" on Dutch television in 1979 and four songs from one of Scott's final shows before his death in early 1980.

Disc two covers the era with Brian Johnson on the mic, stretching from 1980 to the present. Highlights include a rare Japanese TV appearance from February of 1981, concerts from the '80s, '90s, and 21st century and a 2003 performance of "Rock Me Baby" with the Rolling Stones.

AC/DC is scheduled to begin recording its first all-new album since 2000's Stiff Upper Lip at some point soon, although exact dates remain a mystery.
