AC\/DC<\/a> is a rock band that created an iconic signature sound and has notably stuck with it. Their raw energy and unique edge made the band one of the hardest-hitting hard rock bands of the 1970s. What you know not know is that the band recorded a love song. Their debut album, High Voltage<\/em>, was released exclusively in Australia and New Zealand in 1975. They released their first international album in 1976, High Voltage<\/em>, with the same name but a drastically different track list. On the original High Voltage<\/em>, a love song was the single. It was pushed by their label at the time and couldn’t be any further from the hard rock tracks the band is known for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song was left off the 1976 international release of High Voltage<\/em> and shelved by the group shortly after release. Early fans didn’t like the track compared to their hard rock songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Love Song (Oh Jene)”<\/a> is an interesting look into a direction the band could’ve gone if the song had become a hit. But it would be their cover of “Baby, Please Don’t Go” that garnered the most attention. The blues cover was released as the B-side single. “Love Song (Oh Jene)” features a soft approach, similar to The Rolling Stones. Lead singer Bon Scott, known for his raw and gritty vocal style, was restrained on this track. All in all, the song isn’t horrible, just doesn’t fit the sound the band became known for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
