Singer Brian Johnson summarised the track to Kerrang!'s Sylvie Simmons as "Filth, pure filth. We're a filthy band."[3]

Live versions of "Back in Black" and "T.N.T.", released as B-sides on the UK's version of the single, were both recorded in Landover, Maryland, in December 1981. "T.N.T." only appeared on the 12-inch edition.[4]


Reception


When reviewing the song in the context of For Those About to Rock, Kurt Loder wrote: "It may seem difficult to take a droolflecked runt dressed in schoolboy shorts seriously as a guitarist, but if you listen closely to Angus Young's serpentine solo in 'Let's Get It Up', you'll hear his unabashed blues roots shining through."[5]
