ZZ Top - ZZ Top Club (Japan Mini-LP) (1988)

In memory of bassist Dusty Hill 1949-2021. Dusty Hill joined ZZ Top in 1970 and played on all of the band’s albums, the last of which was La Futura in 2012. Along with bass, Dusty Hill also contributed to keyboards and backing, and lead vocals.

“ZZ Top Club” is a twelve-Inch mini-LP released only in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand on vinyl and cassette. The limited-edition project includes rare remixes from the band’s 1980s output. Three of the tracks were US Billboard Dance Hits Legs #13 (1984), Velcro Fly #43 (1986), and #41 (1986).

This project was released to coincide with the Japan tour of that period as shown on the obi-strip in Japanese (来日記念盤).

Unlike many Rock bands, ZZ Top embraced the Twelve-Inch single format releasing many during their long career. ZZ Top has sold over 25 million albums in the US with additional sales internationally.
