It's funny to see so many reviews complaining about the length of this CD. Basically it's an age thing. These kids don't know what an EP is. An EP ("Extended Play") is like an extra long single. Of course, in the CD age, a single tends to sell for the same price as an album anyway, and the packaging on this is just ace. May as well pay the price and enjoy, it is what it is! It's not like it costs an arm and a leg. Just don't buy that extra coffee today and you're even-steven.
'74 Jailbreak is one of my all-time favourite AC/DC releases. Featuring five tracks from the Aussie version of Dirty Deeds and High Voltage, unreleased on this side of the pond, this was a little bit of a gift to fans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of these albums. It features the earlier, more rock n' roll sounds of the band and of course the immortal lead vocal charms of Bon Scott.
All five songs here are winners. Of course "Jailbreak" itself is still played live by the band, and who can forget that video? Great song, classic Bon storytelling. "You Ain't Got A Hold On Me", "Show Business" and "Soul Stripper" (an awesome long dramatic one) are equally good. The EP ends with a cover of "Baby, Please Don't Go" which was actually the first time I ever heard this song.
Great EP, great songs all five. And yes, there were a lot of others available on single B-sides and Aussie albums, but don't fear. This boxed set fills in a lot of the gaps.
Get into that early AC/DC mindset, and enjoy this brief reminder of what made Bon Scott so awesome. 5 stars.

There also is a fine,fine version of this EP on iTunes. I love the photos!This album really captures everything voltage about ac dc. A Thrashing yet quite melodic journey through a great time to love AC DC. All songs are Great!cant go wrong!!

I know this is AC/DC shortest album and all but this is one of their most concestant albums and also one of their strongest. I bought this for 'Jailbreak' which is the best song on the album by the way. But anyways I bought it for "Jailbreak' and fell in love with the whole thing. All the songs are good. AC/DC's version of 'Baby Please Dont Go' is one of the best versions I have ever heard and I have heard them all. 'Baby Please Dont Go' is one of my all time favorite songs so its hard for someone to please me with their version so that is saying a lot about AC/DC's. If you are a fan of old AC/DC say like the Bon Scott era then you will love this, and if you liked Brian Johnson better you will still love this, you wount be let down, and this you can count on!

Where's the beef? Good songs, short album
74 Jailbreak is more of a "single" than a full length album, and although the songs on it are good, it is missing the breadth of a real album. The CD is only 24 minutes long! Read more

Grade F
Nothing here at all. Hard to image that this is the heavy metal group of the 80's. More hard rock than metal. Song writing skills are very lacking.

Five songs for the price of a whole album... amazing!
To sell only five songs for almost the same price of whole album is the typical example of greedy decisions made by a record company. Read more

5 Stars x 5 Songs = 25 Stars ((Remaster Review))
Despite longtime AC/DC fans' immediate acceptance of replacement singer Brian Johnson (resulting in one of rock's all-time best boneheaded shred fests, 1980's Back in Black), there... Read more
