I first heard Peanut Duck on the Beware comp 'It's Finking Time'.... a spotty bootleg put out sometime in the mid-late 80s.This track used to make me n my pals hoot with laughter - especially the bit where Marsha slurs "everybody's doin' the peanut duck", sounding like she's completely out of it. The bits where you get instruction on how to do the dance are good too: "flap your arms like a duck, high and low" etc.After a while I managed to find this 7" boot at a record fair for a couple of quid. Even better - great quality and with two more northern slammers on the flip.Penniman records did a nice reissue sometime in the '90s with a great pic sleeve (although I don't think that's Marsha in the nuddy on the front).This is just one of those great, one-off marvels of the classic early soul era. If you bought this first time round on the original label you'd feel pretty smug (although, I've no idea what the original looks like - I've never seen one) - but get hold of this Joker boot or the Penniman re-ish for a true dance-adelic experience. The Finking Time comp on Beware is worth checking out too as it houses a bunch of crazy soul freakouts plus a load of awesome garage punk grinders.

I don't think this ever had an 'original issue' it was found in a collection of acetates in the 80's and as far as I'm aware the owner of the acetate put it out on this release.
