Found this cool thread with alot of comments by Terry Manning from Argent Studios on working on all of the ZZ Top albums they recorded (which is really most of the really good ones).
This old thread thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine is still out there and kind of gives a look at the same record through Terry Manning's memory. I put it here as ILMusic does it's Roshomon look at ZZ Top's Eliminator.
