A Message from The Meters: The Complete Josie, Reprise & Warner Bros. Singles 1968-1977 (2-CD Set)
- Shrink-wrapped
How would you like to hear a new sideâ€”or should we say sidesâ€”of the worldâ€™s greatest funk band? This 40-track set presents the A and B-side of every single that organist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter, Jr., and drummer Joseph â€œZigabooâ€ Modeliste cut for the Josie, Reprise & Warner Bros. label, virtually their entire singles output save for a few odds â€˜nâ€™ ends issued mostly overseas. That means that you not only get every hit along with its hard-to-find B-side but also the rare single mixes, including the especially rare original mono single mixes of the 1968-1971 Josie sides, very few of which have appeared on CD (the first CD is all mono; the second, featuring the later Reprise and Warner Bros. singles, presents all stereo single mixes). These songs represent the mother lode of New Orleans funk, classic tracks like â€œSophisticated Cissy,â€ â€œCissy Strut,â€ â€œLook-Ka Py Py,â€ â€œChicken Strut,â€ â€œHand Clapping Song,â€ â€œHey Pocky A-Way,â€ and more, all but two co-produced by the late, legendary Allen Toussaint. And, with liner notes by Bill Dahl featuring quotes from Nocentelli, Neville, and Porter, this 2-CD set offers probably the best retrospective to date of this enormously influential band. And howâ€™s the sound? Well, after extensive and exhaustive tape research, we were able to come up with original tape sources for all but five of these single sides, and the remasteringâ€”by Mike Milchner at SonicVisionâ€”is tight! Just maybe the yearâ€™s most indispensable R&B release.
