Afterburner
New - LP - 9 25342-1E
Sealed 1985 Club Edition, Pressed At SRC. VG+ Cover With Some Superficial Scrapes/Scuffs Through Shrink & Creasing To Back Top Right Corner. "Well, If You Just Had Your Biggest Hit Ever, You'd Probably Try To Replicate It, Too. And If You Were Praised For Being Visionary Because You Played All Your Blues Grooves To A Slightly Sequenced Beat, You'd Probably Be Tempted To Not Just Continue In That Direction, But To Tighten The Sequencer And Graft On Synthesizers, Since It'll All Signal How Futuristic You Are. While You're At It, You Might Visualize How Space Age This All Is By Turning Your Signature Car Into A Space Shuttle. If You Look At Things That Way, Then Afterburner, ZZ Top's Follow-Up To Their Blockbuster Eliminator, Makes Sense -- They're Just Giving The People More Of What They Want. Problem Is, No Matter How Much You Dress ZZ Top Up, They're Still ZZ Top. Sometimes They Can Trick You Into Thinking They're A Little Flashier Than Usual, But They're Still A Lil' Ol' Blues Band From Texas, Kicking Out Blues-Rockers. And Blues-Rock Just Doesn't Kick When It's Synthesized, Even If ZZ Top's Grooves Always Bordered On Robotic. So, Afterburner, Their Most Synthetic Album, Will Not Please Most ZZ Top Fans, Even If It Did Go Platinum Several Time Over And Reached Number Four. That's All Just A Sign Of The Times, When Even Hard Rock Bands Had To Sound As Slick As Synth Pop, Complete With Clanging DX-7s And Cavernous Drums. As An Artifact Of That Time, Afterburner Is Pretty Good -- Never Has A Hard Rock Album Sounded So Artificial, Nor Has A Nominal Blues-Rock Album Sounded So Devoid Of Blues. Apart From The Chugging "Sleeping Bag," Not Even The Singles Sound Like ZZ Top (Though "Dipping Low (In The Lap Of Luxury" Is A Blatant "Gimme All Your Lovin'" Rewrite): The Terrific Post-New Wave Rocker "Stages" Is The Poppiest Thing They Ever Cut, The Ballad "Rough Boy" Is Far Removed From Slow Blues, And The Full-Fledged Synth Dance Of "Velcro Fly" Is A True Mind-Bender. All This Means That Afterburner Is Merely A Product Of Its Time -- The Only Record ZZ Top Could Have Made At The Time, But It Hardly Exists Out Of That Time." AMG - Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Afterburner
Used - LP - 9 25342-1E
1985 US original Specialty pressing, with no Bob Ludwig "RL" in deadwax. Includes original black poly inner sleeve. "Well, if you just had your biggest hit ever, you'd probably try to replicate it, too. And if you were praised for being visionary because you played all your blues grooves to a slightly sequenced beat, you'd probably be tempted to not just continue in that direction, but to tighten the sequencer and graft on synthesizers, since it'll all signal how futuristic you are. While you're at it, you might visualize how space age this all is by turning your signature car into a space shuttle. If you look at things that way, then Afterburner, ZZ Top's follow-up to their blockbuster Eliminator, makes sense -- they're just giving the people more of what they want. Problem is, no matter how much you dress ZZ Top up, they're still ZZ Top. Sometimes they can trick you into thinking they're a little flashier than usual, but they're still a lil' ol' blues band from Texas, kicking out blues-rockers. And blues-rock just doesn't kick when it's synthesized, even if ZZ Top's grooves always bordered on robotic. So, Afterburner, their most synthetic album, will not please most ZZ Top fans, even if it did go platinum several time over and reached number four. That's all just a sign of the times, when even hard rock bands had to sound as slick as synth pop, complete with clanging DX-7s and cavernous drums. As an artifact of that time, Afterburner is pretty good -- never has a hard rock album sounded so artificial, nor has a nominal blues-rock album sounded so devoid of blues. Apart from the chugging "Sleeping Bag," not even the singles sound like ZZ Top (though "Dipping Low (In the Lap of Luxury" is a blatant "Gimme All Your Lovin'" rewrite): the terrific post-new wave rocker "Stages" is the poppiest thing they ever cut, the ballad "Rough Boy" is far removed from slow blues, and the full-fledged synth dance of "Velcro Fly" is a true mind-bender. All this means that Afterburner is merely a product of its time -- the only record ZZ Top could have made at the time, but it hardly exists out of that time."

Cinco No. 2 (The Second Five LPs)
Box Set - New - R1-563584
Sealed 2018 5LP Box Set. "Cinco No. 2 (The Second Five LPs)" includes the band's second five studio albums: "Degüello", "El Loco", "Eliminator", "Afterburner" & " Recycler".
ZZ Top formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas, consisting of members Billy Gibbons (guitar, vocals), Dusty Hill (bass, vocals), and Frank Beard (drums). The band's blues-infused rock sound, coupled with their iconic beards and sunglasses, made them a popular act in the 1970s and 1980s.
The albums included on "Cinco No. 2" represent a significant period in ZZ Top's career, featuring some of their most well-known songs such as "La Grange," "Tush," and "Cheap Sunglasses." These albums also showcase the band's evolution from their early blues-rock sound to incorporating elements of country and pop music.
Overall, "Cinco No. 2" serves as a retrospective of ZZ Top's early career and highlights their impact on the rock music genre.

Sealed, Out Of Print 180gm Reissue. “ZZ Top Returned After An Extended Layoff In Late 1979 With Degüello, Their Best Album Since 1973's Tres Hombres. During Their Time Off, ZZ Top Didn't Change Much - Hell, Their Sound Never Really Changed During Their Entire Career - But It Did Harden, In A Way. The Grooves Became Harder, Sleeker, And Their Off-Kilter Sensibility And Humor Began To Dominate, As "Cheap Sunglasses" And "Fool For Your Stockings" Illustrate. Ironically, This, Their Wildest Album Lyrically, Doesn't Have The Unhinged Rawness Of Their Early Blooze Rockers, But The Streamlined Production Makes It Feel Sleazier All The Same, Since Its Slickness Lets The Perversity Slide Forth. And, Forget Not, The Trio Is In Fine Shape Here, Knocking Out A Great Set Of Rockers And Sounding Stylish All The Time. Undoubtedly One Of Their Strong Suits.” - Stephen Thomas Erlewine - AMG

El Loco
Used - LP - BSK 3593
1981 Original with inner sleeve. "El Loco" is the seventh studio album by the American rock band ZZ Top, released in 1981. Known for its blend of blues rock and hard rock, the album marked a transitional period for the band as they began incorporating more synthesizers and new wave influences into their music. This shift in sound would later become more pronounced in their subsequent albums. "El Loco" features a mix of up-tempo tracks and bluesy numbers, showcasing the band's signature style with Billy Gibbons' gritty guitar work, Dusty Hill's steady bass lines, and Frank Beard's dynamic drumming. Standout tracks include "Tube Snake Boogie," "Pearl Necklace," and "Party on the Patio," which capture the band's distinct blend of humor and high-energy rock.
The cover art for "El Loco" is as vibrant and quirky as the music itself, featuring a surreal scene that complements the album's title, which translates to "The Crazy One" in Spanish. While not achieving the same commercial success as some of the band's later works, "El Loco" is often appreciated by fans for its experimental edge and catchy riffs. The album paved the way for ZZ Top's exploration into more electronically influenced sounds, which would become more prominent in their subsequent releases, such as the highly successful "Eliminator." Overall, "El Loco" is a significant entry in ZZ Top's discography, reflecting the band's willingness to evolve while maintaining their core rock and blues identity.

Rio Grande Mud
New - LP - 525347
Sealed 2011 US Limited Edition 180gm Remastered Reissue Cut From The Original Analog Master Tapes. Pressed At RTI. "With Their Second Album, Rio Grande Mud, Zz Top Uses The Sound They Sketched Out On Their Debut As A Blueprint, Yet They Tweak It In Slight But Important Ways. The First Difference Is The Heavier, More Powerful Sound, Turning The Boogie Guitars Into A Locomotive Force. There Are Slight Production Flares That Date This As A 1972 Record, But For The Most Part, This Is A Straight-ahead, Dirty Blues-rock Difference. Essentially Like The First Album, Then. That's Where The Second Difference Comes In -- They Have A Much Better Set Of Songs This Time Around, Highlighted By The Swaggering Shuffle "Just Got Paid," The Pile-driving Boogie "Bar-b-q," The Slide Guitar Workout "Apologies To Pearly," And Two Dusty Hill-sung Numbers, "Francine" And "Chevrolet." There Are Still A Couple Of Tracks That Don't Quite Gel And Their Fuzz-blues Still Can Sound A Little One-dimensional At Times, But Rio Grande Mud Is The First Flowering Of Zz Top As A Great, Down-n-dirty Blooze Rock Band."

Sleeping Bag
Used - 7 - W2001DP
1985 7" picture disc. Sleeping Bag is a 1985 song by ZZ Top, a Texas-based rock band famous for their blues-infused sound, humorous lyrics and signature beards. The song was written by band members Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, and was released as a single from their 1985 album Afterburner. It quickly became a hit, reaching number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of the band's most popular songs.
The song features a catchy melody, driving rhythm and Gibbons' distinctive vocals. The lyrics describe the joys of being in a sleeping bag with a lover, and the music video features the band members performing in a futuristic setting, complete with flying cars and neon lights. Sleeping Bag is a perfect example of ZZ Top's blend of rock, blues and pop influences, and remains a beloved classic of the 1980s rock scene.

"On Tejas, ZZ Top countrified the bluesy posture of their previous albums, resulting in a slight detour between the madcap spirit of Fandango and the psychedelic strut of Deguello. While the album lacks any singles as strong as "Tush" or "La Grange," "Arrested for Driving While Blind" is one of ZZ's classic anthems, capturing the group's wacky humor and jaunty good-time boogie. Other highlights include the driving "Enjoy and Get It On," "Avalon Hideaway," and the fine instrumental "Asleep in the Desert." However, like all of their early albums, the CD transfer is spoiled by overdubbing and other lame attempts to update (and, in some cases, extend) the original songs, and it much better on vinyl." All Music Guide - Jim Smith.

Tres Hombres
Used - LP - BSK 3270
1979 US gatefold reissue with custom printed inner. LA pressing on the sheild & lines WB label. Strong VG+ copy. "Tres Hombres is the record that brought ZZ Top their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process. It couldn't have happened to a better record. ZZ Top finally got their low-down, cheerfully sleazy blooze-n-boogie right on this, their third album. As their sound gelled, producer Bill Ham discovered how to record the trio so simply that they sound indestructible, and the group brought the best set of songs they'd ever have to the table. On the surface, there's nothing really special about the record, since it's just a driving blues-rock album from a Texas bar band, but that's what's special about it. It has a filthy groove and an infectious feel, thanks to Billy Gibbons' growling guitars and the steady propulsion of Dusty Hill and Frank Beard's rhythm section. They get the blend of bluesy shuffles, gut-bucket rocking, and off-beat humor just right. ZZ Top's very identity comes from this earthy sound and songs as utterly infectious as "Waitin' for the Bus," "Jesus Just Left Chicago," "Move Me on Down the Line," and the John Lee Hooker boogie "La Grange." In a sense, they kept trying to remake this record from this point on -- what is Eliminator if not Tres Hombres with sequencers and synthesizers? -- but they never got it better than they did here." AMG - Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
