AC/DC subsequently went through numerous early personnel changes, including replacing Dave Evans with Bon Scott in time for the recording of their debut Australian album High Voltage, which also featured contributions from George Young and session drummer Tony Currenti. The band's first single ' Can I Sit Next to You, Girl' was released after the departure of Van Kriedt, with a third Young brother, producer George, filling in on bass.
