First Post: Gritty funk from The Meters

Here at Snap, Crackle & Pop, we'll be posting all kinds of music from all around the world. All manner of sounds ripped from dusty vinyl and discarded cds that I've picked up over years of trawling car boot sales, flea markets and junk shops.

We have to start somewhere, so I thought we should start with something hot from the local charity shop:



This is The Best of the Meters. I'm sure many are familiar with the gritty, down home Louisiana funk of The Meters, but for those who aren't, this great compilation covers the years 1971 - 1975 and includes classics like "Just Kissed My Baby", which was sampled by Public Enemy on their first lp.

Here's the tracklist:

A1		Jungle Man
A2		Hey Pocky A-Way
A3		Can You Do Without?
A4		Just Kissed My Baby
B1		Love Slip Upon You
B2		People Say
B3		Africa
B4		Fire On The Bayou

You can get it here. Happy listening.
