The Ultimate Rock Revolution From Down Under | Blood & Thunder: The Sound Of Alberts | Amplified

Unveiling Rock Revolution: How Albert Productions Shattered Norms and Redefined Music!

During the decades spanning the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, Albert Productions emerged as an influential powerhouse in Australia, reshaping the very fabric of Australian pop music.
Guided by Ted Albert and the collaborative efforts of songwriters/producers Harry Vanda and George Young, Alberts fostered a collective of artists including Billy Thorpe, The Easybeats, Stevie Wright, AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, John Paul Young, TMG, and more.
This assembly dominated the music charts, garnering global recognition. Yet, their music wasn't always gentle. The Alberts' guitar resonance mimicked the pulsating vigor of a V8 engine, echoing the resilient migrant neighborhoods from which it originated.
It exuded an air of defiance, embodying the spirit of Australia's audacious and electrifying suburban youth. It encapsulated the vibrant essence of blue-collar revelry.

Every time I watch a documentary about Australian music, the momentum always picks up the moment it starts talking about AC/DC!!

[stephenmenadue]

The particular flavours that Vanda and Young added to so many good bands-not the least is AC/DC-was what created a particular sonic that all rockin' Australians know. The Angel's muted guitar was probably the greatest of all the 'Australian sounds' we were being fed.
I've heard it said that what music you love as a 15 year old boy is the music you will love all your life. With a passion. One can't escape that love even if one tried.

As an American fascinated with Aussie culture, I found this doc extremely entertaining! I've been on an ACDC documentary kick lately and that has led me this amazing documentary

Growing up Australian in the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s was a gift. We were so blessed to have our own world class local music scene.. while also being tuned in to both the UK and US charts. Our whole world revolved around music. But, at the centre of our country, the spirit and the heart, is a big, red rock named Uluru, and rock we do.

My mum is in her mid 70's and she's a huge AC/DC fan, we always had some AC/DC playing on the stereo when I was a little kid, I'm 53 years old now and I'm still a huge AC/DC fan.

[jackelbrash]

Damn those Aussies know how to make a rock doco . Just riveting .
Where is part 2 please ?

[AFloridaSon]

As an American that believes Rock-N-Roll is life, and who would want to be Australian had I not been born in America, I find this absolutely fascinating.

[therestingrancor]

As a 55yr old Australian, I approve this doco. I grew up with the aussie sound.
Unfortunately, I think we have lost alot of our unique sound in modern times. Tho, for a while there, we had the best music, up there with America and Great Britain ❤

[kingey]

Please do a part 2. There’s so much more to this story.

[reeb]

Wow! When i heard I'll Make You Happy playing, I didn't realize Divinyls had been covering it years later.

[leechild]

I realised what made ac/dc great was that were all on the beat like a machine and never swayed from it. Solid and dependable. Trustworthy beat.

[allanchapman]

I was 13 in 63 I grew up with the best music in the world I went to Homebush High a couple of stations from Ashfield.

A fellow i know has the original studio monitors from Alberts in his studio.
I felt honoured to see and hear them and I guess most of this music was played through them as it was recorded and mixed.
Amazing history right there in those old black boxes.
