Arguably the centerpiece of the excellent Dirty Deeds album, the fact that it was never even given a single release also stands as a testament to AC/DC's workmanlike, blue-collar ethic. One of AC/DC's best-known early classics, the song was tailor-made to exploit guitarist Angus Young's on-stage schoolboy character ("What I want I stash, What I don't I smash, n' you're on my list"), but its brilliantly simple riff also epitomizes AC/DC's three-chord hard rock boogie in its inimitable, minimalist perfection. First heard by most Americans via 1977's seminal Let There Be Rock album, "Problem Child" had actually first appeared on the previous year's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap opus (at the time, still unreleased stateside).
