Kirky70 Oct 18, 2024
Punchy and dynamic, digital feel to it as is possibly the case with this mastering? Still a good representation of the feel ZZTop were going for IMO.

Very crisp and fresh sounding recording. This is probably digital recording from 1985 but nice sounding. This is as i said before crisp and fresh sounding but warm and nice. Speed and rytham are good too. They used probably rytham mashines as almost everyone in 80`s, but it works wel here. I can easily recomend this record.
