Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is the second broad-release studio album by Australian hard rockers AC/DC. It was originally released in December 1976 in Australia and Europe on Albert Records but didn’t make it to the shelves of U.S. record retailers until April, 1981 (although strong demand by U.S. fans who were eagerly awaiting the arrival to the band’s 1979 smash Highway To Hell created a strong market for imports, finally forcing Atlantic Records to release the an “official U.S. version”), after the death of the band’s lead singer/chief antagonist, Bon Scott.

After its release, the album shot up to #3 on the U.S. album charts and has since sold over 6 million copies.

The U.S. edition of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is considerably different from the original Australian edition, featuring a different cover and play list (see below).

Sleeve design on the new version was done by the talented Hipgnosis crew, built around a photo by Paul Canty. The title of the record was inspired by the "Dishonest John" character on the Beany and Cecil Saturday morning cartoon (“nyah-ha-ha”), who’s business card read “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - Special Holidays, Sundays and Rates."
