AC/DC remasters

The AC/DC remasters are a series of digitally remastered AC/DC albums, the first installment of which was released by Epic Records on February 2003 (see 2003 in music). Each re-released album is remastered from the original source tapes for optimum sound quality and is packaged in a deluxe digi-pak case with a booklet AbOUT the respective period. Also, the rereleased CDs use the ConnecteD Technology which can unlock exclusive band footage, such as rare audio, videos, photos, historically accurate memorabilia and tour dates.

The entire band catalog was rereleased in the UK, although in the United States only the albums that were over ten years old were digitally remastered. The older albums were not rereleased together, they were rereleased separately in three groups.
