Review
Another banger from “The Meters”! This being their first studio release, the self-titled masterpiece. Again, a defined sound that was their own, no other funk band could nail the sound that they created…this album dropped jaws in 1969 (I’m told). Deep, gritty bayou funk that speaks for itself. VERY hard album to come by, expensive, but worth EVERY dollar. Check out some of my other posts on “The Meters” lp’s as well, to see exactly how dope these cats are…
Check out the sound!

This is a hot cover, composed antique meters, poorly lit, but I think that may have been intentional. It’s great though, straight-forward in approach and simple in concept. Average typography, but the image is strong enough that it overshadows my slight anger towards the type lol!

So it turns out you know a good freind of mine from Utah. He recomended your site to me after I had already been a regular, which is a weird coincedence btw.
This album is a must have for the record digger. I was about to drop some money on it just before i found it at a yard sale. The cover of “Stormy” on here is an overlooked but is one of my favorite on the album. Thanks for posting!
Indeed!
What’s up man…
Small world, T called and told me all about the coincidence. That’s awesome though…and I appreciate the support!
But yes, this album is definitely a MUST…good digs, you found it at a yard sale?!?! Lucky you, you probably saved 50 bucks or so lol!
Peace.
