The End of the World MUST Be Close: AC/DC Now on iTunes

I thought I was seeing things when I looked at iTunes this morning.  The ENTIRE AC/DC catalogue?  A la carte?  Jeezus.

Well, about bloody time.  When it came to selling things digitally, AC/DC was an even bigger holdout than the Beatles.  

But as of today–Monday, November 19, 2012, all sixteen AC/DC studio records, four live albums and three compilations are available for sale.  And before you ask, yes, everything has been specially remastered for iTunes.  

There are two special bundles for sale which merit consideration.

The Collection:  All studio albums for a flat price of $99.99.

The Complete Collection:  Everything (!!!) for $149.99.  That’s an amazing bargain.  How many iTunes gift cards will go to this thing?

Here’s a detailed accounting of what went on sale today.
