Loads of the early Top albums are genuinely wonderful. Blues and boogie riffage in excelsis and some great guitar often coupled with an almost Zappa like sense of absurdity.

Avoid "Texas Six Pack" like the plague! They butchered the mixes of their 70s lps with 90s drum samples and the results are criminally bad. For cd, the Chrome, Smoke & Barbecue or Rancho Texicano compilations have a good selection of their early material with un-fucked-with sound but their first 4 or 5 LPs on vinyl are the ideal way to go.

Fandango or Rio Grande Mud! Be prepared for some fairly crude expressions of old-fashioned american male values though

Were they not on one of the Pebbles/Nuggets albums as an earlier incarnation? I've got a feeling they were involved making "I can only give you everything" (the excellent riff being famously lifted by Beck)or some other garage classic. I could be wrong, as I often am, but someone here is sure to know.
