All you need!!!
This is the ultimate collection you need to be able to talk about their songs. If you don't have all their albums, this boxset is the ultimate way of accessing ZZ-Top's greatest hits and most exciting songs. A must!!!.


Very unhappy
That's the one I wanted not the one they sent me. I did not recieve the box set that was in the picture. I think this is false advertising!!!!
Very very unhappy will never shop from here again!!!.


Crome, Smoke, & BBQ ZZ Top
Thank you. I bought this for my husband and he has enjoyed it very much.


Very well done
The artwork, book and flip book are excellent. Awesome song selection, very thourogh and just the perfect little set with loads of extras.


Almost perfect selection, plus restored original mixes
I mainly want to refute some other comments concerning these mixes. I'll let all y'all fans gush - suffice to say that ZZ Top is an essential Texas band. In the 80's, the band heavily remixed their first six albums for the "Six Pack" reissue, adding massive amounts of reverb. For years, those were the standard mixes on CD reissues.

These mixes are the originals - they sound clean and dynamic, with a little tape hiss audible in only the quietest parts. I owned the old CDs, so I could 'A-B' them. Check out "La Grange. " When the drums kick in, it's easy to hear the absence of echo. Buy with confidence!

As for the track selection, I only found one cut - "Balinese" - that will be sorely missed, and a few more - like "Apologies To Pearly," "Low Down In The Street," and "(Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree" - that would have been nice. But, nothing's perfect, and those cuts are available for download.

Altogether, "Chrome, Smoke & BBQ" is the one to get. Haw, haw, haw.
