Description
Overkill packaging as usual with tracking via USPS media for $4.00 and yes, I do combine. Since I have had a series of questions concerning shipping charges on combined orders I will try to be more explicit. Generally up to three lps ship as one, but shipping charges are based on weight not records. So gatefolds or double LPs or 180 gram vinyl all have an affect differently. Suffice to say, I don't try to make money on shipping charges and I am fair, so enjoy the auctions. Open records are cleaned with Ultrasonic cleaning system and in new 3 mil inner and outer plastic sleeves.
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. Too much of this record glides by on its sound, without offering any true substance, but 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.
