Out Now: ZZ Top, CINCO NO. 2: THE SECOND FIVE ALBUMS

Right about this time last year, Rhino released a ZZ Top vinyl box set entitled CINCO: THE FIRST FIVE LPS, and its contents consisted of – spoiler alert! – the band’s first five albums. Now that the band’s fans have had 365 days or so to absorb all 10 sides of 180-gram goodness, it’s time to unveil the sequel to this set.

CINCO: THE SECOND FIVE LPS features – you guessed it – ZZ Top’s second five albums, each pressed on 180-gram vinyl, with audio sourced from the original masters and artwork which faithfully reproduces the original releases.
