Unheard Bon Scott Music to Be Released
A box set containing unheard music written and sung by Bon Scott will be released later this month, Cherry Red Records announced.
Before finding fame with AC/DC, Scott fronted Fraternity for four years. In that time, they released two albums,
Livestock and
Second Chance, which rounds out the new set.
A total of 45 songs appear on
Fraternity: Seasons of Change – The Complete Recordings 1970-1974.
“Scott’s tenure with Fraternity has been poorly documented on the reissue market,” the label said in a statement. “Half a century later,
Seasons of Change finally seeks to amend this oversight. Curated in conjunction with surviving band members Bruce Howe, John Freeman, Sam See, John Bisset, Uncle John Eyers (and the estate of Mick Jurd) and their original manager Hamish Henry, this three-CD set seeks to offer the complete recorded output … utilizing the original master tapes and best possible remastering sources.”

The complete recordings of 70s Australian progressive rock band Fraternity – which featured future AC/DC singer Bon Scott – will be released in a special remastered edition later this month.
The box set, titled ‘Seasons of Change – The Complete Recordings, 1970-1974’, was put together by Adelaide music promoter and historian Victor Marshall in collaboration with the band’s surviving members and their manager Hamish Henry.
Due to be released on January 22 via Cherry Red Records, the box-set includes the band’s two original albums – ‘Livestock’ and ‘Flaming Galah’ – along with their singles, remastered from Henry’s original tapes. Both feature Scott on lead vocals as well as recorder.
