Due to ABC TV's commitment to live cricket coverage (First Ashes Test, Australia versus England at the Brisbane Cricket Ground), some stations such as ABN2 in Sydney, did not telecast this episode of 'Countdown'.
First 'Countdown' appearance by AC/DC. Their set used a blue sky background with silver cloud props. Angus Young appeared dressed as a fighter ace, in goggles, black leather flying jacket, white scarf, and trademark shorts, emerging from a miniature First World War aircraft after a mock dogfight to join the band on stage with guitar. With the exception of two photo stills, the video clip of the performance is presumed erased.
