ac/dc - the razors edge

the little record store i have in town has gone through a few changes. the first thing is pretty cool. when i went there for the first times they had almost new stuff only, now they added quite a big used record section. the other thing isn't that cool. the store must have faced some financial problems because the owner cut down the opening hours to four or five hours in the forenoon. so i can only go there on holidays or saturday morning, which means i go there pretty rarely.
but when i did find the time to take a little trip to hellion record store, i always came up with cool used records of yes, u2 or supertramp. nothing which i feature here but used metal wasn't among the stack. last time i actually found a bit to post here: ac/dc's eleventh studio album "the razors edge". it was in a fantastic condition and for six bucks there was really not a moment of hesitation. that baby had got to be mine.
musically it will rank pretty high in my personal ac/dc studio album list. of course "thunderstruck" is the perfect opener (as a kid i thought it was about a thunder truck, haha), "mistress for christmas" will be played a lot in the coming christmas season and the title track "the razors edge" is one of the strongest ac/dc songs at all. i think i have a european first press copy here. looks like it wasn't played an awful lot. good for me. great stuff! atco records. 1990.

post scriptum: sorry for the grainy pictures. in the moment i struggle with bad lighting at any time of day.
