I'm not sure if it's true of every recording released on Baton Rouge's Golden label [I haven't heard them all], but every Golden 45 I own sounds like it was recorded live in the studio using two microphones. The sessions maybe involving three takes at most.
On this particular cut, there's a whole 'funky chicken' guitar solo missing in action, the drums are way in the background...the song, such as it is, was probably made up on the spot.
Yep, screw ups abound on Golden, but the immediacy factor is very very high. Which is a good thing to have working in your favor on an awesome slab of garage-funk like this. Wait till they 'take it to the bridge' and then tell me your hair doesn't start to stand on end.
George Perkins is most well known for his anthemic "Cryin' In The Streets". I'm pretty sure the flip of this record, "How Can A Broke Man Survive", was meant to be the follow up to that song.
Turn it way up!
Hope ya enjoy.
