Z.Z.TOPS
First            Album
THIS IS A RARE ORIGINAL 1971 1ST PRESS, WITH TEXTURED COVER, FROM THE BOYS FROM 'HOUSTON TEXAS'. OF COURSE THIS WAS PRESSED IN THE UK, BUT NOT UNTIL 1980 AND THEN ONLY A REISSUE ON THE WARNER BROTHERS LABEL. SO TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE OF THESE ORIGINAL ALBUMS IS VERY HARD !! A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATE ZZ TOP WITH THEIR 1983 ALBUM 'ELIMINATOR', AND DO NOT REALISE THEIR SOUTHERN BLUES, BOOGIE ROCK START IN THE ROCK WORLD !! NOW THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST POINT OUT, AND IT IS A BIT ODD, AS THE SIDE 1 LABEL IS NOT THE CORRECT ONE, BUT HAS 'THE ROLLING STONES' "HOT ROCKS" LABEL ON IT INSTEAD. OF COURSE IT IS ZZ TOP PLAYING ON BOTH SIDES, AS YOU WILL SEE BY THE MATRIX !!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS A 1971 U.S.A 1ST PRESS :: SASH 1586 AL 12.2.70 :: SASH 1587 AL 12.2.70 .
ON THE BLUE LONDON LABEL :: PS 584 . 
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FULLY TEXTURED MADE FROM THICKER AND HEAVIER CARD, WITH 'LONDON RECORDS Inc. 539 WEST 25th STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10001' ALONG THE BOTTOM ON THE BACK. LOVELY SOLID COVER WITH NO ISSUES TO THE SPINE OR EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A VERY FAINT HARD TO SPOT STAIN MARK BOTTOM LEFT ON THE FRONT, AND ANOTHER ONE TOP LEFT ON THE BACK, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS THEY ARE VERY FAINT. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL INDENT MARK ALSO TOP LEFT ON THE BACK. THERE IS NO WRITING, STICKERS, ETC, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX- .
VINYL :: AS I SAID THE AUDIO PLAYS BEAUTIFUL  WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS, OR STICKS, AND NOT EVEN ANY NASTY LOUD TICKS, CLICKS, POPS. VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE ONLY SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND COUPLE OF VERY TINY COSMETIC MARKS ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT AND THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB, AND HAS A LOVELY SHINE !! THERE IS ONLY A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AFTER THE START OF TRACK 2 . WHILE ON SIDE 2, TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND A LIGHT TICK AT THE END, ON TRACK 3, AND A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 4. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND TRACK 4, AND AS IT IS BETWEEN TRACKS, IT IS NOT ON THE AUDIO. THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO, SO A VERY ENJOYABLE AUDIO TO LISTEN TO, SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ .
LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN :: EX/EX+ .
INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING :: VG+/EX- .
I REALLY LOVE THIS ALBUM, AND IT SOUNDS BETTER NOW THAN IT DID ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. REALLY BLUESY AND SOUTHERN ROCK, AND AN ORIGINAL U.S.A 1ST PRESS AND ORIGINAL COVER, SO WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT FOR THIS RARE CLASSIC ?? WELL A NICE £2.99, AND IT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER !! A BRILLIANT START TO THE VINYL NEW YEAR, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
