Kelton this has all been said before & you certainly aren't alone bro. The old ZZ lp's rocked hard: tight band & rock-solid slam! The artificial ambience which was added into the remasters completely ruined that magic - what a letdown. IMO those CD's are only good for one thing... skeet practice
old zz top recordings
I think i tell of on my age when I say that we use to listen to the very first zz as albums and 8 track. Rio grand mud, fandango, first album are some of the best music out there if you youngsters never heard ( but dont call me an old fart I can hang with the best of ya, and I like alternative and female rr)
BUT is there any cd's of zz that are not remastered that sound like there in a coffee can? The old ones really kicked and if you ever heard the old you hate the new ones. The only recording Ive heard is off the armagedion sound track and it sounds correct.
Am I the lone ranger.
