AC/DC - Italian Promotor Dismisses Rumors Of Turin, Italy Dates
October 27, 2009, 15 years ago
AC/DC's Italian concert promoter, Barley Arts, has announced that rumors of AC/DC dates in Turin, Italy on June 8th and 9th, are false.
The promotor ensures that only dates confirmed at their website are true.
Newsandstar.co.uk previously reported:
All kinds of people browse through the records, books and antiques at Keswick Collectibles (in Keswick, Cumbria, UK).
So co-owner David Lomas thought nothing of it when he saw a “scruffy geezer in a flat cap” browsing through the vinyl albums at the St John’s Street shop recently.
The man brought one record to the counter.
It was Back In Black by rock band AC/DC.
Released in 1980, this is one of the best-selling albums of all time, having shifted something in the region of 40m copies.
“Would you like me to sign it?” asked the customer.“Er... who are you?” replied David.
“I’m the singer.”
Yes, the scruffy geezer was AC/DC front man Brian Johnson, whose gravelly voice is one of the most familiar in rock music.
David was happy to let Brian sign the album and the signature quickly made the record a very lucrative item.
So lucrative that another customer offered to buy it there and then.
The price was raised from £8 to £25 and the deal was done.
