The record
The Coasters' hit gets a juke-joint makeover here, Diehl's guitar and Walker's tenor riding pocket-deep behind Hammond's organ churn. Prestige's 1966 formula still had gas in the tank, and this quintet burns it cleanly.
Session personnel

Pressings
We hold very little on this title. Two 1967 Prestige pressings of PR 7482, both mono -- a stock copy, which is the earliest row on file, and a white-label promo carrying an RVG stamp. Our data lists no stereo, no reissue and no foreign pressing, so anything else offered to you sits outside what we can confirm. Buy on condition and on what the label and deadwax actually show.
