Fly on the Wall

First released1985

Fly on the Wall was recorded in 1984 at the Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada, following the departure of lead singer Bon Scott's successor Brian Johnson's initial tenure uncertainty. The album was produced by AC/DC alongside engineers and producers including Harry Vanda and Michael Klenfner, with mixing handled by engineers like Tony Bongiovi. The recording marked a transitional period for the band as they worked to establish their sound in the mid-1980s, utilizing the studio's advanced 24-track recording capabilities. The album showcased the band's shift toward a more polished production style compared to their earlier work, though it maintained their signature hard rock sound with heavier use of studio effects and layering techniques than previous releases.
