If you drop the name of Australian hardrockers AC/DC, most drummers will come up with the name of Phil Rudd (photo), who became the band\'s first structural drummer and has spent many, many years with them behind the kit.

However, Rudd was not the first drummer who occupied AC/DC\'s drum throne. According to the fan and collectors site AC/DC Highway To Hell, a brand new bootleg LP has been released, featuring one of Rudd\'s predecessors: Noel Taylor.
Noel Taylor replaced Colin Burgess on drums in AC/DC between February and April 1974. Taylor was followed up by Peter Clack.
The bootleg LP, entitled \"In the Beginning\", contains the earliest known AC/DC recording in existence. It was recorded at the Hampton Court Hotel in Sydney, Australia in March 1974.
\"In the Beginning\" comes in two volumes, with seven tracks each. The album was professionally remastered, and pressed on various muilti-blend colored vinyl in a custom sleeve. Both volumes are issued on multi-colored vinyl and are limited to only 200 copies worldwide.
