Fiona Morrow of TheGlobeAndMail.com reports: Mike Fraser takes credit for the latest AC/DC album, "Black Ice", making it to disc and not just because he's responsible for the sound mix.

Impatient to get things moving, he called the band last year, suggesting that if they had any mind to start putting an album together, they should buy up a pile of a particular brand of recording tape he'd heard was about to be discontinued. Then, a couple of months later, he dropped in on them in London.
