It is the first track of the group's album T.N.T., released in December 1975, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott . The song is notable for combining bagpipes with hard rock instrumentation; in the middle section of the song there is a call and response between the bagpipes and guitar . The original recording is in B - flat major, but it was played live in A major . </P> <P> A slightly shortened version of the song is also the first track on the international version of High Voltage, released in May 1976 . This version appears only on the vinyl release and the 2003 CD reissue . </P>
