    This pressing seems to hold up well to abuse. I found a beat up copy with lots of surface marks and it sounds quite good still.

      Don't miss this record. This is groovy funk at his top. Check out Cissy Strut or Cardova or the nice ballad Stormy. There are no fillers. This is the best from The Meters and one of the best funk albums ever. Period.
