''Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'' is the second international studio Album by Australia n Hard Rock band AC/DC , released in November 1976 in Europe (see 1976 In Music ) and delayed for release in the U.S. until April 1981 (see 1981 In Music ), where it peaked at #3 and is currently 6 times platinum.

This edition of ''Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'' is considerably different from the original Australian Edition , released in September 1976. It features a modified track order, with the Australian version's " R.I.P. (Rock In Peace) " and " Jailbreak " being replaced with " Rocker ", from 1975 's '' T.N.T. '', and " Love At First Feel ." "Love At First Feel" was never officially released in Australia, making it the only such replacement track on an international version of an AC/DC album (others, such as "Rocker" on this album and "Problem Child" on '' Let There Be Rock '', were available in Australia before being released overseas). This version also has a different cover than the original.

It has been posited that Atlantic Records removed "Jailbreak" from the international version due to concerns about its content. If true, this would be highly Ironic considering that similar, if not more depraved, lyrical content is found in such songs as the Title Track , " Problem Child ," and " Big Balls ," all of which were included on the international version. The reasons for the omission of "R.I.P. (Rock In Peace)" are unknown.
