Description
The Wild Tchoupitoulas is a landmark New Orleans recording that brings together the traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians with the city's legendary funk scene. Produced by Allen Toussaint, the album features Art, Charles, Aaron, and Cyril Neville performing together years before they officially formed The Neville Brothers, backed by members of The Meters. The result is one of the defining recordings of New Orleans music, blending Mardi Gras Indian chants with infectious funk rhythms and soulful performances.
This 1978 U.S. Pitman pressing on Antilles Records (AN 7052) includes classics such as Brother John, Meet De Boys on the Battlefront, Hey Pocky A-Way, Mardi Gras Mambo, and Sew Sew Sew. The album's influence extends well beyond funk, serving as a cornerstone of New Orleans musical history and inspiring generations of artists.

- Vinyl: VG+ with excellent gloss and only a few light superficial scuffs. A clean, well-preserved copy that has been carefully handled.
