Back in Black is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC and was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Back in Black was released on 25th July 1980, less than half a year after Scott's death. AC/DC were nervous about the future, with Angus saying they were a "bit jittery" during recording. However, the album proved to ease the Band's worries, as it became their best selling, most popular and critically respected album.
