Doesn't get better than having 10 hi-fidelity CDs in their original-design mini-album sleeves so I can listen to three amazing rockin' blues musicians playing tight rythymic arrangements that bring harmonic joy to my soul. Just wanna be a sharp dressed man, and I love the beauty of women like some ZZ Top lyrics describe in night club style.

This is a barebones box set with cardboard miniature LP replicas. While I suspect most of you will not notice or care, I thought it wise to call out Rhino/Warner on a couple blatant snafus regarding this release. Firstly, all of the first Album, the B-side of Rio Grande Mud, and the A-side of Tejas have their channels reversed. Secondly, the song "Legs" from the "Eliminator" album features the single mix and not the proper album mix. Otherwise the sound on this set is good and features all original mixes.

ALL the classics....and ALL in original mixes too! I had the ZZ Top "Six Pack" box and when I listened to it.....I thought, "Man,....I guess I just don't like these albums anymore?" (You see, I'd not heard the albums for a few years....Tres Hombres,and Tejas especially). BUT after I bought an old LP of TEJAS recently for it's cover.....I listened to the old vinyl and heard that the mixes of the albums on Six Pack were wrong! Here you get all the LPs in the original mixes in little LP jacket sleeves. The sound is great and the drums are like you remember them on the early LPs. I'm really loving these old LPs I thought I'd lost interest in. Here the band had not only blues influences,but Cajun and quite often a style like a heavier Little Feat. Not one bad thing in my opinion. Well recommended to hear the true progress of this Little band from Texas.Read full review
I bought this set for some of the classic hits of course, but also in the hope of discovering lesser known tracks influenced by the folk-blues origins of Texas music. I was not disappointed ... there are some nice blues tracks scattered throughout these albums.

I'm a big fan of all of ZZ Top's "pre-MTV" era music. This was an easy affordable way for me to get all their albums on CD. The quality of the recordings is what it is but better than it was ;) For the price you cannot go wrong.
