Album Description:
The 1983 ZZ Top 12" Maxi Single vinyl album is a special release that includes two tracks: "Legs" and "La Grange". This vinyl single was released as part of the promotion for the "Legs" song, which is from ZZ Top's 1983 album titled "Eliminator".
"Legs" is a popular song by ZZ Top, known for its catchy guitar riffs and infectious rhythm. The lyrics of "Legs" contain a sexual double entendre, which is a figure of speech that can be interpreted in two different ways, one of which has a sexual connotation. The song revolves around the theme of desire and attraction, using metaphors related to legs and physical appearance to convey a sense of seduction.
The Special Dance Mix version of "Legs" featured on this Maxi Single vinyl release is a remixed version of the song. Remixes often add new elements to the original recording, such as extended instrumental sections, additional vocal effects, or altered arrangements to make the track more suitable for dance floors. This Dance Mix version of "Legs" aimed to capitalize on the popularity of the song and appeal to a wider audience, particularly those who enjoyed dance music.
In addition to the Dance Mix of "Legs," the 12" Maxi Single vinyl album also includes "La Grange". "La Grange" is a classic ZZ Top song originally released on their 1973 album, "Tres Hombres". It showcases ZZ Top's signature blues-rock sound and is often considered one of their most iconic tracks. Including "La Grange" on this Maxi Single vinyl album was likely a way to provide an additional well-known song to complement the popular "Legs" track.
