ZZ Top - Eliminator (CD / DVD)

ZZ TOP shifted gears in 1983 with the trio's eighth studio album, Eliminator. Creating a new sound, the band subversively co-opted the humming synthesizers of new wave and fused them to its trademark hot-rodded blues boogie. Eliminator also holds the rare distinction of being among the first group of albums to be awarded diamond certification by the RIAA for sales of 10 million copies.

The CD contains a remastered version of the album's first pressing, including the rare original album version of the Top 10 smash "Legs," which was replaced on subsequent pressings with a single version edited for radio. Along with the hit singles "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Sharp Dressed Man," the disc also features seven bonus tracks. Five are previously unreleased live performances of songs from Eliminator. The live tracks include "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," "TV Dinners,"and "Got Me Under Pressure," all recorded at Castle Donington in England as well as "I Got The Six," recorded at The Marquee Club in London. The bonus tracks feature both the single and 12" dance remix versions of "Legs."

The deluxe packaging also features rare photos and extensive liner notes from longtime band publicist and confidant Bob Merlis.
