Classic rock giants AC/DC are set finally release their entire back catalogue on iTunes after having been one of the biggest acts to resist the digital transition.
The band's 16 studio albums, from their debut High Voltage to their recent release Black Ice, have been mastered for iTunes, whuch increases the quality of the audio downloads and also allows fans to download tracks individually as well as in full albums.
Also newly available on iTunes will be the band's four live albums and three compilations.
Fans will be able to buy the whole lot - studio albums, live recordings and compilations - for £99.99.
Alternatively just the 16 studio albums will be available in a download bundle for £79.99, meaning each album will cost less than a fiver.
The Beatles and Led Zeppelin had similarly been unavailable on iTunes in the past.
This was largely to do with business clashes between Apple Records, part of Apple Corps (started by the Beatles) and Apple Computers in the case of The Beatles and Atlantic Records in the case of Led Zeppelin.
But in the same way the digital giant managed to bring The Beatles into their fold in 2010, Columbia Records have agreed terms for AC/DC.

Today also sees the release of AC/DC's first new live album in 20 years. AC/DC Live At River Plate was recorded in 2009 over the course the band's three nights playing to nearly 200,000 people at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires.
The new live album is included in the collection to be made avilable on iTunes.
