==Simon Wright==
Where in the world did you get the idea that Simon Wright plays on this album?  Phil Rudd plays drums throughout - another drummer, BJ Wilson of Procul Harum, was brought in but his parts were never used.  Wright was still in Tytan while 'Flick of the Switch' was being recorded, and it was only after Tytan broke up that Wright was asked to join AC/DC.

:: I have removed the reference to Simon Wright being on this album, because he's not.  If anyone can provide any kind of evidence of his presence, it can be added again, and I don't mean "it's clear to the trained listener that he's on the album".

::: Okay, here's the truth. Simon Wright wasn't in the album, but he was in the videos. I bought the "Family Jewels" DVD, and in the booklet, the credits say he was in the videos. When I watched the videos, I knew the face looked like Simon's, and not Phil Rudd's. --[[User:Ac-dcfreak785|Ac-dcfreak785]] 18:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

:::: i've put a reference in the article about where simon wright appears. i also put his name in the personnel that he was in the videos, and not the album. there you go --[[User:Ac-dcfreak785|Ac-dcfreak785]] 20:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Correct. He appears so far as I know in the warehouse 1983 videos Nervous Shakedown and Flick Of The Switch but Rudd is the one on the album. Also (I know it's not on the album but it's worth a mention) You Shook Me is also by Rudd but in 1986 Wright appears in that video as well. Wright drums in Who Made Who.

I don't think so!  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.101.9.145|76.101.9.145]] ([[User talk:76.101.9.145|talk]]) 04:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Cover art embossing ==

I know the cover art was embossed, & I can prove it because I still have my original vinyl album, purchased when the album was new. The logo, as well as Angus & the switch are all embossed. Just FYI. Not sure where other people are getting their information, but believe me, just because someone said so in some interview or whatever doesn't make it true. Fact check.

:Absolutely right, my vinyl LPs have embossing on the cover as well. It may well be that Atlantic didn't want to pay for the embossing, but clearly they agreed eventually. We need more (and better) sourcing on this. [[User:Bretonbanquet|Bretonbanquet]] ([[User talk:Bretonbanquet|talk]]) 10:10, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
