"Bon Scott with The Skeptors & The Valentines is a rare one to get a hold of but what a treat. It is in these historical recordings & the music of AC/DC that feature Bon where we find he lives on forever. Originally a drummer, Bon really wanted to just sing, he got his chance in both the bands having better success with the 1967 April hit "Everyday I Have To Cry", that is very catchy & no doubt the best song on the entire disc, a true Bon classic showcasing his vernacular for the gift of song craft.Bon went on to success, fame & fortune with AC/DC when these bands disembarked but sadly was taken away to the skies of the guitar heaven as they like to say.This is a recording for a true AC/DC fan, it is not AC/DC but features Bon Scott. Another highlight is the 22:47 "Interview with Allan Manning's" at track number 5 that features Vince Lovegrove for the majority of it.Consider yourself very lucky if you can get a hold of this beautiful gem.A good seller to try obtain it from is Reggie Records. They ship pretty fast."
