I’m still trembling thinkin’ ‘bout it—this could be the *finest* cut Kevin Gray’s ever pressed. Everythin’ sings with razor clarity, deep detail, and a soundstage that pops right outta the speakers while the bass just *hits* you right in the chest. Left my Reference Recordings first press in the dust—this one sounds like the band’s playin’ live in my front room. Top marks, no question.
After taking a well-earned break that their supergroup status justified, ZZ Top made the scene again in the fall of 1990 with ‘Recycler’. If critics weren’t too kind, it was probably ‘cause folks needed time to adjust to the five years since ‘Afterburner’ and their steady ‘80s vibe. You could even say ‘Recycler’ ties the knot with ‘Eliminator’ and ‘Afterburner’, making up a trio that raked in the big bucks. Their knack for blending synth beats with those iconic guitars carried on into the new decade, though some fans and reviewers might’ve missed the raw sound of ‘Tres Hombres’ or ‘Deguello’. I’d argue ‘Recycler’ gave their ‘80s style a refresh while still keeping the ZZ Top magic alive. “My Head’s in Mississippi” nails that balance—fresh but with roots in the past. If you weren’t a fan before, this won’t change your mind, but die-hards will dig tracks like “Concrete and Steel”, “Give It Up”, “Doubleback”, and “Decision or Collision”. Sales didn’t fly as high as their earlier hits—maybe grunge had a hand in that—but ‘Recycler’ still delivers, no question…..I’m just your Burger Man…
Oh wow... this vinyl sounds absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, it's practically flawless. And it's cut so crisp too :)
Not quite sure where this pressing is from but it sounds amazingly deep, with punchy mids and treble that don’t get too harsh or sibilant while still keeping everything crystal clear. The runouts match the quoted info perfectly. A solid example of DMM done the right way.
Fantastic soundstage. Probably the best sounding pressing I've come across.
