Description

They got it right the first time. The first three sides are in glorious mono, and the set comprises almost every Meters single from their time on the Josie, Reprise, and Warner Bros Sound 5/5 Hifedilty

The Meters — Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste, Art and (later) Cyril Neville, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter, Jr. — were arguably the world's greatest funk band during the late ‘60s and ‘70s.

Their recordings for the Josie, Reprise and Warner Bros. labels laid the foundation for New Orleans Funk

Now, Real Gone Music presents, for the first time ever, a collection of their classic, groundbreaking singles for all three labels

Includes rare mono single mixes for the Josie sides and stereo single mixes for the Reprise and Warner Bros. sides. All but five tracks are from original tape sources

Features such legendary tracks as "Sophisticated Cissy," "Cissy Strut," "Look- Ka Py Py," "Chicken Strut," "Hand Clapping Song," and "Hey Pocky A-Way."

All but two tracks co-produced by the late, legendary Allen Toussaint.

Liner notes by Bill Dahl include quotes from Nocentelli, Art Neville, and Porter.

Remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision.

Forty soulful and ever-so-funky sides. The best Meters retrospective to date!
