AC/DC and their celebration of the 40th anniversary of Highway to Hell is still in full swing with the band’s social media accounts sharing some interesting artifacts, from video performances to rare photos.

Among those rare photos is the original artwork for the album, which wasn’t approved by their American label at the time. When sharing the photo via social media, it was cleverly captioned, “The original ‘Highway To Hell’ cover was “shot down in flames” by the American record company.” (We see what you did there!)

AC/DC is also marking the 40th anniversary of Highway to Hell will new anniversary merch and reissues all of which can be found at Store.ACDC.com.
