Are these Falcons tracks or Pickett solos?

Jasmine Records has two releases on the Falcons, which I think would include all of these tracks if they're from his time with the Falcons, but likely include many more as their CDs usually have 25 or more tracks on them.

Six of these songs are Wilson Pickett solo recordings that were released on Double-L Records in 1963 [prior to Wilson's peak years with Atlantic Records in the mid '60s]. The other songs are from Wilson's It's Too Late LP on Double-L.
