High Voltage is the debut studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released only in Australia and New Zealand, on 17 February 1975.

[1] Soon the Young brothers decided that Evans was not a suitable frontman for the group; they felt he was more of a glam rocker like Gary Glitter.

In a 2010 interview with Mojo's Sylvie Simmons, Angus Young recalled that Scott "moulded the character of AC/DC... Everything became more down to earth and straight ahead.

George Young was the older brother of Angus and Malcolm, and also plays bass guitar on a number of the album's songs.

Harry Vanda was a bandmate of George's in the Easybeats, and the pair were the main songwriters of the band's later hits, including their international smash "Friday on My Mind".

Although Murray Engleheart writes in his book AC/DC: Maximum Rock N Roll that bass guitar duties were shared by Malcolm and older brother George, who also played live with the band infrequently, as well as Bailey, Tony Currenti has revealed that he mostly recorded alongside Bailey and that George played bass on "Stick Around", "Love Song" and the song "High Voltage".

"Soul Stripper" is similar in theme and structure to "Squealer," a song that would be included on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in 1976.

"Baby, Please Don't Go" is a cover version of a Big Joe Williams song and was chosen as the LP's first single, leading to the group's third appearance on Australia's Countdown music program.

The band's appearance included the now-legendary live performance of "Baby, Please Don't Go" featuring Scott dressed as a blonde schoolgirl.

The international version of High Voltage, which was issued on Atlantic Records in 1976, has a different cover art and track listing, with only "She's Got Balls" and "Little Lover" appearing overseas.
