Francene (English)/ Francene (Spanish)

Here's a beautiful copy of ZZ Top's rarely seen first chart single, which besides putting their own stamp on "Blues Rock" broke new ground by publishing itself in both English and Spanish! Clearly, this was a group that not only recognized, but celebrated, the diversity of its fan-base... No fears of Mexican immigrants raping and pillaging on these guys' minds back in 1972! :-) Interesting to note that the Spanish side is a bit longer, at 3:04, than the English side, at 2:59. Note: This copy comes in a vintage London Records factory sleeve. The record would grade pristine Mint all around, but the "English" label has a small "6/72" inked on it (see scan), lowering the Label grade to a strong Excellent. The wax (styrene) and audio are pristine Mint!
