ZZ Top Tres Hombres

ZZ Top Tres Hombres on UHQR 200g 45RPM Clarity Vinyl 2LP from Analogue Productions: Mastered Directly from the Original Master Tape by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, Pressed at QRP, Limited to 5,000 Copies

The breakthrough album that defined Texas blues rock! One of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever to strut the 50 States, these sharp dressed Texas titans — Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill — are a righteously hell rain' power trio boasting a 30-plus year hit making legacy, both in the studio and at concert arenas.

With their revved up blues 'n' boogie, they always make the most of their Texas birthright with a distinctive sound that shakes up rock, blues, soul, garage-funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their force of nature musicianship better displayed than their 1973 classic Tres Hombres. Packed with swagger, grit, and some of the most infectious guitar grooves ever recorded, Tres Hombres cemented the band's signature sound — raw, greasy, and undeniably cool.

One of rock's greatest anthems — "La Grange" swaggers! That iconic opening boogie riff? Instantly recognizable. The groove? Absolutely irresistible. "La Grange" is a masterclass in blues-based rock perfection. And beyond? Whether it's the slow-burning "Hot, Blue and Righteous," the funky "Move Me on Down the Line," or the driving "Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago" combo, every track grooves with unmistakable attitude.

This definitive reissue of Tres Hombres is limited to 5,000 copies. Pressed on four sides of 180-gram Clarity Vinyl from QRP. Cut at 45RPM to reduce distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately. The vinyl compound enhances the sound quality, offering improved dynamics, detail, and tonal accuracy. And great care is taken to eliminate surface noise or imperfections throughout the manufacturing process. Lastly, your records are housed in archival quality Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jackets with a scuff-resistant finish.
