Tales of Old Grand-Daddy is the only studio album by Australian rock band Marcus Hook Roll Band, released in Australia in 1973. The album is noted for being the recording debut of future AC/DC founders Angus Young and Malcolm Young.
Many of the details surrounding Tales of Old Grand Daddy remain forgotten due to excessive alcohol consumption during the recording sessions.[citation needed] According to George Young, "We all got rotten (drunk) – except Angus, who was too young – and we spent a month in the studio boozing it up every night."[citation needed] The album features rhythm and lead guitar from both Malcolm and Angus, although whose parts are whose is a detail long forgotten.[citation needed] It's also not known whether one of them was responsible for the album's slide guitar tracks.[citation needed]
Some of the tracks were later broken up and reused by AC/DC. For example, the track "Quick Reaction" contains a similar riff to the AC/DC song "T.N.T."[citation needed] and elements of the single "Natural Man" was used for "Live Wire".[citation needed]
According to George Young, "It was the first thing Malcolm and Angus did before AC/DC. We didn’t take it very seriously so we thought we’d include them to give them an idea of what recording was all about."[citation needed]
Capitol Records issued the LP in 1978 in America, retitled Marcus Hook Roll Band featuring Harry Vanda and George Young.[citation needed] EMI Australia reissued it in 1983 and Albert Productions re-released it on CD for the first time in 1994.[citation needed] The album was reissued again 20 years later on June 2, 2014, on CD, digital download and vinyl.[1]
