ZZ Top, Fandango!, 1975 on London Records
Fourth release from Texas blues band ZZ Top, Fandango! included an A side with live songs (from The Warehouse, in New Orleans) and a B side of new studio recordings.
A Fandango is a dance originating in Spain and Portugal – which wikipedia tells me “is used as a synonym for ‘a quarrel’, ‘a big fuss’ or ‘a foolish or pretentious act'” – not sure which one ZZ Top were after here.
I think their first eight albums (yes, I include Eliminator) are fantastic though I’d argue after that it is downhill – but the live releases that have continued to come out from earlier days are great.
My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell, MA—is a later 1979 Winchester Pressing on Warner Bros. labels.

THE ONLY ONES
Special View
2025 Europe Ltd. Edition reissue
#668 of 750
Red Translucent vinyl
Off to Boston in about 14 hours; returning to my homeland of Massholia for 7 days to do some hard digging and to see some friends.
So I’m gonna enjoy listening to some records until I leave.
This is probably my favorite compilation of ANY band’s body of work. I love The Only Ones so much, particularly Peter Perrett’s songwriting.
Their one big, instantly recognizable song aside (I first heard “Another Girl, Another Planet” via the Replacements’ cover version), they had MANY great songs, most of which are on Special View.
Killer band, timeless songs.
And kudos to Music On Vinyl for an excellent sounding reissue.
BTW…
Music On Vinyl has reissued each of their first three studio albums over the past two years, and they’re all great, and readily available.
