Where in the world did you get the idea that Simon Wright plays on this album? Phil Rudd plays drums throughout - another drummer, BJ Wilson of Procul Harum, was brought in but his parts were never used. Wright was still in Tytan while 'Flick of the Switch' was being recorded, and it was only after Tytan broke up that Wright was asked to join AC/DC. Bretonbanquet 14:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the reference to Simon Wright being on this album, because he's not. If anyone can provide any kind of evidence of his presence, it can be added again, and I don't mean "it's clear to the trained listener that he's on the album". Bretonbanquet 14:26, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay, here's the truth. Simon Wright wasn't in the album, but he was in the videos. I bought the "Family Jewels" DVD, and in the booklet, the credits say he was in the videos. When I watched the videos, I knew the face looked like Simon's, and not Phil Rudd's. --Ac-dcfreak785 18:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
i've put a reference in the article about where simon wright appears. i also put his name in the personnel that he was in the videos, and not the album. there you go --Ac-dcfreak785 20:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Correct. He appears so far as I know in the warehouse 1983 videos Nervous Shakedown and Flick Of The Switch but Rudd is the one on the album. Also (I know it's not on the album but it's worth a mention) You Shook Me is also by Rudd but in 1986 Wright appears in that video as well. Wright drums in Who Made Who.
