Left over tracks from the Blow up the video session

After the release at the end of 1996 of a bootleg single featuring an unreleased AC/DC song, 'Alright Tonite' and a demo version of 'That's The Way I Wanna Rock N Roll', another unreleased track was released last week. The song is called 'Let It Lose' and can be found as B-side of a bootleg 7" single which features a demo version of 'Heatseeker' on the A-side.

Like 'Alright Tonite', 'Let It Lose' was recorded during the "Blow Up Your Video" recording sessions. The bootleg 7" single was released in four different vinyl colors (black, green, red and pink) and in very limited edition. It appears that audio tapes were stolen from the recording studios during the sessions of "Blow Up Your Video". In many interviews following the release of "Blow Up Your Video", the band said that they wrote and recorded 19 songs from which 10 were kept for the album itself and 3 were released as B-side of AC/DC singles, namely 'Snake Eye', 'Borrowed Time' and 'Down On The Borderline'. Six songs were never released on any official AC/DC recording.

Angus and Malcolm often insisted on the fact that if a song was dropped from the album it was because it was not good enough for the fans. We can then easily understand that the band is very upset about the bootleg release of these songs and is determined to pursue the responsibles of the tapes theft. Anyway 'Let It Lose' has been released as a bootleg. But if the sound quality of 'Alright Tonite' was good enough for a demo version, the sound quality of 'Let It Lose' is very poor, particularily when hearing Brian's voice distorted by reverb effect.

Unless the band and its representatives find the responsibles of the theft, the four remaining unreleased tracks should be released as bootleg singles in a near future.
