Audio Quality

• The quadraphonic mix creates an immersive soundstage: guitars, drums, vocals feel like they wrap around you—especially in tracks like “La Grange” and “Jesus Just Left Chicago.”
• Stereo mix is cleaned up very nicely — crisp highs, solid bass, vocals punch through without being harsh.
• Overall dynamics preserved well; the analog warmth remains but with clarity modern ears will appreciate.

✅ Overall Recommendation

If you dig ZZ Top or vintage rock, this Quadio edition of Tres Hombres is something special. The quad mix adds new depth to familiar tracks — it’s like hearing them inside a bigger room. The stereo mix is also excellent if you don’t have a quad setup. For collectors, fans of analog sound, or anyone wanting the richest listening experience here, this is absolutely worth grabbing.
