The Meters Rejuvenation: AS 40 Series

The Meters Rejuvenation Reissued for the AS 40 Series on Hybrid Stereo SACD: Mastered to DSD from the Original Master Tape

When The Meters dropped Rejuvenation in 1974, the funk world shifted on its axis. Produced by Allen Toussaint, this is the New Orleans groove machine at full throttle — a masterclass in rhythm, feel, and fire. Every track locks into that deep pocket only The Meters could create, powered by George Porter Jr.'s elastic bass, Zigaboo Modeliste's razor-tight drumming, Art Neville's soulful keys, and Leo Nocentelli's greasy, gritty guitar lines.

Restored by Analogue Productions, this definitive reissue lets Rejuvenation breathe with new life. The clarity, warmth, and punch reveal every nuance of Toussaint's production — from the steamy pulse of "Just Kissed My Baby" to the swaggering "People Say" and the slow-burn funk sermon "It Ain't No Use."

Rejuvenation captures the raw, rhythmic genius that would go on to fuel generations of hip-hop, rock, and R&B artists.
