Jackknife on this double went from a Pussy Galore INSPIRED band to straight out coving them and taking their thematic concept for this double single.  Pussy Galore covered Exile On Main Street, Jackknife nicks the cover of Exile for the artwork.

None of this can be streamed, but there is a great original song that sounds out of the Jon Spencer catalog, "Lickin' Chicken." Everyone is lickin' chicken.  Your Dad and your Maw and your auntie McGaw or something like that.  I shipped the record out already and can't stream it to get the actual quote.

I can at least give you the links to the original Pussy Galore songs they cover.  All are from 1987's Right Now!: "White Noise" which goes into "Fuck You, Man!." then on the flip of the 2nd single you get "Alright."

A nice double blast of noise rock.
