"If you're a big AC/DC fan looking for some pre-AC/DC hard rock, don't buy this. This is pretty standard '60s pop tinged with psychedelia, with some occasional hard rock flourishes. As an AC/DC fan from way back, I can tell you that most of the songs are but a curiosity; it certainly is interesting to hear Bon Scott's voice on this kind of material. There are about three or four songs that rise to the level of being fun to listen to more than once in a while, if you like pseudo-psychedelic '60s pop. And I must complain about the packaging. These songs are by two bands that Bon Scott was a member of; they are NOT Bon Scott solo tunes. You have to read the liner notes extensively to determine which songs are by the Valentines and which are by Fraternity, and even then, it's not 100% clear. As a music collector to whom such things are important, I am FURIOUS with the complete idiots who put this package together."
