track 3:   Duane plays lead guitar

Source for 'Mini-Skirt Minnie':

Page 139 of Tony Fletcher's book 'In The Midnight Hour - The Life & Soul Of Wilson Picket' (Oxford University Press, New York, NY, 2017):

.....The was also "Mini-Skirt Minnie," which had first shown up on a Stax subsidiary under a different title before being rewritten by Steve Cropper and sung by Sir Mack Rice (newly signed to the Memphis label). Jackson [George Jackson] had now added to the song, and recorded a demo version for Pickett in which his own impressive voice fought tooth and nail for dominance with Allman's piercing solos. On Pickett's rendition the rhythm section hit on a yet more relentless boogie - but although Allman can be heard playing the main riff while Johnson [Jimmy Johnson] chugs along beneath him, the solos are curiously absent. Those who never heard the Jackson demo were ultimately none the wiser, and when "Mini-Skirt Minnie" was justifiably released as a single the following spring it duly scored high ar R&B, one of the best (and most underrated) of all Pickett soul singles.

* According to Stuart Winkles' article 'Duane Allman - Skydog's Sessions '68 - '71' (published in 'Goldmine' magazine, vol. 12 no. 8, issue 149, April 11, 1986) Duane plays on tracks 3 and 22, but in the liner notes of the CD 'A Man And A Half - The Best Of Wilson Pickett' is mentioned that the song 'A Man And A Half' was recorded on September 19, 1968 and the guitars were played by Bobby Womack and Jimmy Johnson.
