Agreed. Literal cover art can get really tacky, but the austerity of those actual meters on the cover is tastefully done.
The cover to me looks like one of those stock covers. Like the sun dail, sunset, etc. ones.
Never mind the cover this album is funk at it's finest.

not sure of the name but that spot on Bleecker street...pretty much the only record store left on Bleecker.

Back in the mid 70s, when I was of high school age, we used to sneak over to New Orleans, just a couple of hours from my home town.
The Funky Meters would often play at Tipitina's on Tchoipitoulas Street.
We didn't have permission, of course... as young kids but there is no way in hell you could have stopped us either.
Best live music I've ever seen, in the funk genre. Those guys are amazing.
The next generation is quite good too. Check out the New Orleans band Dumpstaphunk.
Ivan Neville's band.... really great stuff.
Phunk you. That is a compliment down in the Delta South, fyi.
Where y'at, two dat.
