JAMES BAKER EXPERIENCE - I Can't Control Myself 7"
Black vinyl. Cheap shipping available.
Highly recommended.
Featuring a pounding Troggs cover on the topside - James was the world's biggest Troggs fan, and he would occasionally venture out from behind his drums (handing his sticks to Brad) to sing this one for an encore in his Hoodoo Gurus days - and a hilarious and raunchy New York Dolls-inspired original on the B-side (which sounds like a long lost Hollywood Brats track), the single was recorded not long after James and the Gurus parted ways.
It features a young Tex Perkins on bass and James' mate from Scientists and later Dubrovniks day, Rod Radalj as well as Tex's mate Stu Spasm on guitars. Apart from being a classic and a milestone in James's life of rock ’n roll, the single has further historical significance because it was the first ever release on Red Eye Records, and features brilliant cover art from Red Eye founder John Foy.
