SMAY DESIGN creates working amplifier/box set for AC/DC!

Sep 29, 2009

BACKTRACKS!
The Ultimate 3CD/2DVD/1LP Rarities Box Set!

By far, this has been the biggest, BADDEST, most involved bit of music packaging I've ever worked on, and a true honor to create something so substantial for one of the biggest names in music. The process started almost 2 years ago with various other ideas which eventually became a huge box set with a working amplifier built into the box itself!

The comprehensive collection of the band's studio and live rarities together in one place, remastered to sound better than ever (many on CD for the first time), on 3 CDs and 1 LP. 2 DVDs brings "Family Jewels" up to date plus the entire 2003 Circus Krone gig. A 164 page hard-cover book, collectible merchandise reproductions, and a working guitar amp make this a must-have for true AC/DC fans.

The 12"x12"x4" (30cm*30cm*10cm) exterior box is designed to resemble a vintage AC/DC guitar amp – complete with the original logo that was spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolm’s speaker cabinets in 1975. The “head” of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal the contents housed within. Oh yeah, the head is also a WORKING GUITAR AMPLIFIER! That’s right, one watt of pure AC/DC makes this box a truly unique collector’s item. You can PLAY the box set while LISTENING TO the box set!
