About this product
The Deluxe Edition includes double vinyl, the CD, a poster, and a recipe card. Widely hailed as the founding fathers of funk, The Meters laid down the blueprint for groove-heavy music that still echoes through hip-hop, rock, and soul today. With razor-sharp rhythm, swampy New Orleans flavor, and a sound tighter than a snare drum, they turned instrumental jams into seismic statements. Whether backing legends like Dr. John or spinning out classics like InchCissy Strut,Inch The Meters didn't just play funk - they defined it. One of New Orleans greatest bands was The Meters, which put the Big Easy on the map as a funk and R&B capital in the 1960s and '70s. The group began as an instrumental quartet, cutting eight studio albums between 1969 and 1977. Although they were never officially captured live on record during that time, in 1981 after the group had split, an obscure tag called REG Associates released an LP called At Rozy's which presented a performance supposedly taped at a New Orleans nightclub in December 1976. Recent research, however, reveals that the concert was recorded the previous year at a different venue San Francisco's prestigious The Great American Music Hall. Newly remastered from the original ¼Inchmaster tapes, the performance-including material not heard before-is now presented in full for the first time. It captures The Meters in their prime, giving the listener a front-row seat to witness up close one of the most dynamic funk and soul bands ever.Press InchplayInch and prepare, as Art Neville states mid-way through the gig, to be Meterized!Inch Album Tracks 1.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The Meters is the debut studio album by the band of the same name. It is an essential album in the funk scene and one that contains a lot of energy and soul. Organist Art Neville led the quartet which consisted of guitarist Leo Nocentelli, the rhythm section of bassist George Porter and drummer Joseph 'Zigaboo' Modeliste. New Orleans funk in their beauty of simplicity, it's what makes this album so remarkable. Each and every song is brimming with hooks, melody and variety. Deep grooves on the single hit 'Cissy Strut' and guitar riffs echoing throughout 'Ease Back'. The Meters are considered the true originators of funk along with artists like James Brown. Their work is influential on many other artists.
Debut 1969 album by New Orleans' The Meters. Led by organist Art Neville, the quartet was rounded out by jazz-influenced guitarist Leo Nocentelli, along with the bubbling rhythm section of bassist George Porter, Jr. And drummer Joseph InchZigabooInch Modeliste. Their regional influences were a smashing together of rock n' roll, syncopated 'second line' rhythms from Mardi Gras parades, and jazz improvisations that only could have come from the New Orleans music scene. The Meters helped move R&B music toward the heavier direction of funk-complicated rhythms meeting economically powerful riffs that were the wave of what was to come. Album Tracks 1. Cissy Strut 2. Here Comes the Meter Man 3. Cardova 4. Live Wire 5. Art 6. Sophisticated Cissy 7. Ease Back 8. 6V6 la 9. Sehorns Farm 10. Ann 11. Stormy 12. Simple Song
