Original Album Series

by ZZ Top

Overview

This 2012 box set contains five of ZZ Top's very best albums -- Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres, Fandango, Deguello, and Eliminator -- each presented as a mini-LP in a cardboard sleeve within this small slipcase box. ZZ Top have other good, even excellent albums, but there's a serious case to be made that these are the trio's best five LPs, and this is a quick, affordable way to get them all. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
