    Description

    Back in Black
    is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC. Produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the album was released on 25 July 1980 by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. By the late 1970s, AC/DC began to achieve significant popularity outside their native Australia, with high-energy live performances and a string of successful albums. In 1979, they paired with producer Lange and recorded their international breakthrough,
    Highway to Hell
    . Shortly before the recording of their follow-up, lead vocalist Bon Scott died after a night of heavy alcohol consumption. The group continued with ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson.
    Back in Black was recorded over seven weeks in the Bahamas in spring 1980. The area was hit by tropical storms at the time, making the sessions difficult at times. Johnson penned the album's lyrics and melodies, while guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young composed the music. Its musical content consists of hard rock-styled numbers. Lange demanded perfection in the band's recordings, particularly on Johnson's vocals. Following its completion, the group mixed
    Back in Black
    at Electric Lady Studios in New York City.
    The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott.
    THE AWARD WAS REQUESTED TO DO THE SAME WITH THE ADDITION OF THE RED AS A SECOND COLOR COMMUNICATED TO AWARD MAKER,  KEN KITTINGER BY ATLANTIC RECORDS FROM THE BAND'S MANAGER.
