If You Want Blood You've Got It
''If You Want Blood'' is the first live album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, originally released in the UK and Europe on 13 October 1978, in the US on 21 November 1978, and in Australia on 27 November 1978. All songs were written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. The album was re-released in 1994 on Atco Records and in 2003 as part of the ''AC/DC Remasters'' series.
==Background==
''If You Want Blood You've Got It'' was released a mere six months after the band's previous studio album ''Powerage''. Originally, a greatest hits package had been in the works called ''12 of the Best'' but the project was scrapped in favor of a live album. It was recorded during the 1978 ''Powerage'' tour and contains songs from ''T.N.T.'', ''Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'', ''Let There Be Rock'', and ''Powerage''. It is the last Bon Scott-era AC/DC album produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, who also produced the band's first five studio releases. In his 1994 Bon Scott memoir ''Highway to Hell'', author Clinton Walker observes, "Live albums, which tended to be double or triple sets in which songs short in their studio versions were stretched out into extended tedium, were for some reason popular in the seventies. ''If You Want Blood'' reversed this tradition...it boasted a blunt ten tracks and, allowing nothing extraneous, got straight to the point, that being raging AC/DC rock and roll."
AC/DC's concert at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 April 1978, was used for the bulk of the recorded material that appeared on the album. It can be clearly heard during "The Jack" when Scott exclaimed "Any virgins in Glasgow?" This concert will also be remembered for the encore when AC/DC came back on stage dressed in the Scottish Football strip, paying homage to Scott and the Young brothers' home land.〔(Glasgow Apollo / The Apollo Years )〕 A song with the same title, "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)," appeared on AC/DC's next album, ''Highway to Hell'', and later on their soundtrack collaboration for the film ''Iron Man 2''. It was also featured in the 2011 horror film ''Final Destination 5''. The songs "Dog Eat Dog", the encore "Fling Thing" and the final part of the concert (the reprise of "Rocker") were also performed during the night of the concert but eventually removed from the album. The live rendition of "Dog Eat Dog" was released as the B-side of the single "Whole Lotta Rosie/Dog Eat Dog" in November 1978. It was later released worldwide on the 2009 box set ''Backtracks''. The songs "Fling Thing" and "Rocker" (with its complete guitar solo) appeared only on video releases.
According to the 2006 book ''AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll'', the album title was an extension of Bon's response to a journalist at the Day on the Green festival in July 1978 who asked what they could expect from the band and Scott replied, "Blood." The cover art is from a shoot done with Atlantic Records' staff photographer Jim Houghton before a show at Boston's Paradise Theater, the idea for which came from Atlantic's art director, Bob Defrin.
