Description
ZZ Top - ZZ TOP'S FIRST ALBUM is an original 1971 LP release on the London label # PS 584.
ZZ Top's First Album may not be perfectly polished, but it does establish their sound, attitude, and quirks. Simply put, it's a dirty little blues-rock record, filled with fuzzy guitars, barrelhouse rhythms, dirty jokes, and Texan slang. They have a good, ballsy sound that hits at gut level, and if the record's not entirely satisfying, it's because they're still learning how to craft records -- which means that they're still learning pacing as much as they're learning how to assemble a set of indelible material. The tracks that really work -- "(Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree," "Backdoor Love Affair," "Brown Sugar," and "Goin' Down to Mexico," among them -- show that from their very first record on, ZZ Top was that lil' ol' blues band from Texas.
The jacket shows light wear on the front & back; a 2" & 5" split on the bottom edge; a 2" tear on the mouth edge of the front and wear on the edges & corners. The record is in VG+ condition.
