"Sock It to Me Baby/It's Your Thing" is a the A-side of 7" single recorded by American singer-songwriter Lotti Golden. Together with the B-side, "Annabelle With Bells (Home Made Girl)," the record was originally released as a follow up to her 1969 debut album Motor-Cycle on Atlantic Records. The album, a fusion of urban street poetry, girl group moxie, and teen angst [1] is informed by Golden's immersion in the late 1960s counterculture and life in NYC's East Village and the Lower East Side.[2][3]

The original single consisted of the mash-up funk medley cover of the Isley Brothers', It's Your Thing and "Sock it To Me Baby" on the A-Side, with "Annabelle With Bells (Home Made Girl)," on the B-side, a soulful, girl-group/Phil Spector-esque song written and recorded by Golden and for the Motor-Cycle project,[4] but the track didn't wind up on the album.

The reissue of the single, timed for release on Record Store Day, April 16, 2016, features a picture sleeve with new cover art and remastered audio, a collaboration between Warner Bros. Records, Rhino Records and High Moon Records. Like the original, the reissue displays the iconic Atlantic Records logo, and was produced with the "cooperation of Lotti Golden," [4] to be followed with a deluxe reissue of Motor-Cycle on High Moon Records.
