Rhino’s Quadio series continues with a brand-new collection of high-quality quadraphonic releases, including ZZ Top’s Tres Hombres (1973). The album has been mastered from its original analog four-track Quad mix.
Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensionally, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.
The title is available today as Blu-ray disc with a quadraphonic and 192/24 stereo mix. Currently exclusive to Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores worldwide, the title retails for $24.98. Order here.
ZZ Top’s third studio album, Tres Hombres, is the band’s pivotal commercial breakthrough. Peaking at #8 on Billboard’s Top 200, the album effortlessly defined space for southern rock on international charts. With iconic tracks like “La Grange” and “Jesus Just Left Chicago,” the record defined a path for ZZ Top’s continued legacy, where Tres Hombres currently sits at No. 498 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.

About Quadio
Rhino introduced the Quadio Series in June 2023, with Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies, Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, The J. Geils Band’s Nightmares…, and Jefferson Starship’s Red Octopus. This series follows the success of the sold-out Chicago and Doobie Brothers’ Quadio sets. Quadraphonic sound, also known as 4.0 surround sound, uses four audio channels connected to four speakers at the corners of a listening area. This type of audio provides an immersive listening experience by dimensionally mixing multi-tracked audio, creating an expansive soundscape for the listener. Rhino’s recordings are transferred from the original half-inch four-channel masters at a high resolution of 192/24 for a pristine sound.
