THE METERS - TRICK BAG

Catalog: MS 0698
Year: 1976

I'll readily admit that I bought this album as a dazed and confused 16 year old ...  I'd never heard of The Meters, but when I saw the large promotional poster in my local Penguin Feather record seller, I immediately located a copy of the LP (it was on sale - think it was $4.98).  I was all too happy to add this one to my growing collection of vinyl. I can remember spending way to much time staring at the cover (as did many of my friends). The fact it was a great set of New Orleans influenced funk only made it better.
