Reviews Customer Reviews for Chrome Smoke And BBQ The ZZ Top Box      Very well done      Rating:      Awesome song selection, very thourogh and just the perfect little set with loads of extras. The artwork, book and flip book are excellent.     Customer Reviews for Chrome Smoke And BBQ The ZZ Top Box Cd      Almost perfect selection, plus restored original mixes      Rating:      I'll let all y'all fans gush - suffice to say that ZZ Top is an essential Texas band. I mainly want to refute some other comments concerning these mixes. 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...
