Blow Up your Video is an album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, first released on January 18, 1988. The album was recorded at the Miraval Studio in Le Val, France in August 1987.
The album was produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, the production team behind the band's early albums. Brian Johnson wrote all the lyrics, and it is the last time to date that he has done so. (However, Johnson is writing the lyrics for the band's new album, due for release in 2007.)
The album was the band's biggest-selling album of new material since For Those About To Rock, We Salute You. Blow Up Your Video reached #2 in the UK and #12 in the US. However, the band played only two tracks from it on the subsequent world tour. "Heatseeker" was a top 20 hit in the United Kingdom. The album was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
