Which AC/DC album includes the song 'Jailbreak' on its Australian release?
Answer
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Answer
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
On its Australian release, AC/DC’s “Jailbreak” appeared on *Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap*.
The song was the ninth and final track on the band’s third Australian album, released in 1976. Written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott, it tells a prison-escape story and became one of AC/DC’s signature early tracks.
The album’s regional track listings are the key to this question. “Jailbreak” was included on the Australian edition but omitted from the international version of *Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap*. Because of that difference, listeners in North America did not receive the song on that album.
In 1984, AC/DC issued the *’74 Jailbreak* EP internationally, giving the song a wider release. This explains why some fans associate it primarily with the EP rather than with the Australian album. It was also released as a single in Australia and the United Kingdom in 1976.
