| Comment | Original UK vinyl release, which many feel is the superior version of Powerage. This first UK pressing also includes different mixes than all later versions, including small variations in vocals, guitar tracks, or both, and occasionally extra sections and longer or shorter fades. It has a ‘harder’ sound than the later version, most markedly on “Down Payment Blues” (which excludes the bluesy coda heard on later pressings) and “What’s Next to the Moon,” which omits solos and backing vocals heard on later pressings. In some territories, Powerage omitted “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation”. This was due to a rushed job in getting the LP to pressing plants in time for the release date (due to their rising popularity following the Let There Be Rock LP), hence “Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation” (which was not yet completed) was omitted, “Cold Hearted Man” was added, and the rushed mixes are different than the ‘finished’ mixes that were thereafter used. "Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation" was subsequently released as a 12" single. This UK version was never released on CD. All CD versions were mastered from the later master tapes which contained extra backing vocals and guitar riffs, and the track order is different on the CD's than from the early vinyl releases. |
