ZZ Top, ZZ Top’s First Album, 1971 on London / Warner Bros

Originally issued in the US on London Records (the American imprint of Decca) in 1971, ZZ Top‘s First Album was reissued by Warner Bros in 1978, likely based on the success of Tres Hombres, Fandango, and Tejas – their 1979 Degüello would be their first new album on Warner Bros. The original LP was not a huge success so it can be harder to find one on the London label.

Formed after Moving Sidewalks disbanded, ZZ Top’s very stable lineup included from the beginning Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard, here identified as “Rube Beard.” (Dusty Hill died in 2021).

You can see the age in my copy which seems to have been exposed to the sun (before I owned it!) at the top – that white bar – but maybe that was the sleeve without the vinyl as there’s no warping.
