Sean Hampsey Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Half a track, no track list; anyone got any ideas? thanks "Laugh Now Boy" by Little Al & The Maxidynes on Shell Possibly. Sounds quite Tex Mex to me! Sean Hampsey
Simon T Posted May 23, 2006 Author Posted May 23, 2006 "Laugh Now Boy" by Little Al & The Maxidynes on Shell Possibly. Sounds quite Tex Mex to me! Sean Hampsey Thanks Sean. Is it a fortune? How many pesos?
Sean Hampsey Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks Sean. Is it a fortune? How many pesos? No idea Simon. It does turn up though from time to time, so shouldn't be too many! Have you heard stuff by Casino Royale on Key-Loc? Very similar sounding. Cheers Sean
Simon T Posted May 23, 2006 Author Posted May 23, 2006 Have you heard stuff by Casino Royale on Key-Loc? Very similar sounding. No, any good? Sounds like a James Bond theme tune tribute band!

Yes, it's good stuff alright. Think, Rocky Roberts & The Airedales on a midtempo fingersnapper! Or a cool sounding Sunny & The Sunliners. Great version of "Diamonds Are Forever" Priceless. Sean
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 "Laugh Now Boy" by Little Al & The Maxidynes on Shell Possibly. Sounds quite Tex Mex to me! Sean Hampsey Was also issued on Silver Fox 4, as by "Baby Al and the Capps" . They were from North Carolina, which means that any Tex-Mex influence is probably just coincidental! TONE

They were from North Carolina, which means that any Tex-Mex influence is probably just coincidental! TONE Hi Tony, I've got the "Baby Al" 45 as a Silver Fox W/D ("Grab Your Partner"). "Little Al" or "Baby Al" was Al McLaurin who, given his name, sounds more like a Scot than a Spaniard.... but the record was actually a minor hit in.... Spain... of all places... much like the Rocky Roberts I mentioned earlier. Sean Hampsey

Can't remember seeing either on lists, so is it obscure or collected on other scenes?
Sean Hampsey Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 is it obscure or collected on other scenes? Yes. Collectors of Carolina Based Tex Mex Geriatric Midget Music are big fans of his stuff! Sean

Funny how they get about, I've got a Greek copy of RR's Durium (Milano) LP with Just Because of You, Got a Thing Going etc on it

Chalky Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Didn't think the Shell release turned up that often, have been looking out for it and only seen a couple in recent times. Has been played lately covered up and think another well known DJ just got hold of one.

Sean Hampsey Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Thanks Sean. Is it a fortune? How many pesos? Simon, I've got this for Sale in the Sales Section. Forgot it was you that asked about it. Apparantley some DJ has it covered?? Sean
Modernsoulsucks Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Tex-mex influence may be because there's an awful lot of Mexicans working in N. Carolina. I think agricultural labourers. You see a lot around the flea markets where there are guys selling Mexican music. ROD
