Too Many Cooks! Bloody awful There are better comilations out their (cheap too) with the original 67-68 American Blues/Moving Sidewalks material untampered with. Just when you thought the ZZ-Top Self-Remixed and Edited 70's songs with added Synth Drums and awful remastering on their cd releases were the worst thing you've heard from them, some Boneheads thought It would be a good Idea to release all their pre-ZZ material (a thoroughly excellent Idea) and Remix them as well, with some semi-talented (presumably German) studio musicians overdubbing their guitar/bass/drums over these nuggets-era psychedelic blues tracks, resulting in a horrible clash between 80's hard rock and bluesy psychedelia. save yourself the $ and seek out those.
