The Meters

Established soul group from the 1960's, The Meters were best known for their US hits "Sophisticated Cissy" and "Cissy strut". A comeback in the mid 1970's produced one album, and the track lifted from this as a single ("Disco is the thing today") is a typical disco track of the era, incorporating bouncing basslines, swirling violins and wah-wah guitar. This was also the first 12" on the Reprise label.
