The archives hit play on the latest additions to the registry on Wednesday.

This year’s new sounds include AC/DC’s It’s A Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock `n’ Roll), Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ 1988 album Tender Prey, and Jimmy Little’s 1963 classic Royal Telephone.
Less well-known to the public are a collection of recordings of more than 40 endangered or extinct indigenous languages, made by linguist Luise Hercus during 35 years of research.
