Description
ZZ TOP - FIRST ALBUM - PS 584 VINYL - FIRST PRESSING 1971
The album cover and inner sleeve are in vg+/excellent condition. I have also left on the original shrink wrap
The vinyl is in VG condition with some groove wear on either side. There are some light scratches that wont affect playback. The condition of the album is reflected in the asking price but please review the photos in detail before your purchase. It is still a good price given that this is a first pressing of this album.
The catalogue numbered matrix codes orrespond to a specific first pressing of ZZ Top's debut album from 1971. This is a good quality example of a difficult to find first pressing from 1971.
- Album Title: ZZ Top's First Album.
- Release Year: 1971.
- Label: London Records (Cat # PS 584).
- Pressing Details: The "PH" suffix indicates this copy was manufactured at the Philips Recording Company in Richmond, Indiana.
- Matrix Numbers: SAHS 1587 is the master number for Side B.
