Jordirip Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone??? Hi Albert, I have a copy of this, but it's not for sale. As Joan says it's it's a belter. I don't know any info about it other than it's rare, about £700. I think he also did another track as well. The flip's a nice funky thing also.

Guest Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Hello to all! Any info about: little al and the maxydimes - lonley days of my life - shell records TIA Check out this link to Carolina soul a great site on all things soulful in the Carolinas a very well informed site by Jason Perlmutter this guy knows his stuff and could fill you in on any info on the label and on who Al is etc. Great record i first heard played by Tim Brown on a Richard searling show many years ago and been after one ever since but now seems a few people our interested and the price is well out of my reach our well such is life. Hope this helps and check out the spelling Andy https://www.carolinasoul.org/north.htm click on S and go down to the shell label, 3 records by them and if you click on the red number 2 you can see the label etc Edited March 10, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jumpinjoan Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The first time I became aware of this record was when Alex Jones sold it to Soul Sam at Lowton a couple of years ago. If my memory serves me correctly it wasn't cheap either. Definitely the high hundreds. I wonder if he still has it? Have never heard him play it out. One hell of a tune without doubt. Nice to see people making use of Jason's site too. Great stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Nice to see people making use of Jason's site too. Great stuff Found this in '92 or thereabouts and sold it to Butch. No idea how cos I've forgotten details but couple of years later me and Alex I think got a contact #. I know we were in Kannapolis which is southern bit of NC and Al went off to meet him whilst I looked somewhere else. Think we got 2 copies off him. Al might remember something about him. Pretty sure it was Al that Alex met although not 100% . ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 As an aside, the other Al & The Maxidynes "Laugh Now Boy" (a driving stomper) also came out as Baby Al & The Capps on Silver Fox. I also have it on a Spanish label Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Butch had it for sale @ £750 the 100 before last. Very nice mid tempo record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gasher Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 had a few listens and it dont do anything for me in the downstairs toilet dept.. not even a stir...mediocre mid tempo at best....and 700 quid?? not for quality must be rarity value... " I AINT GOING NOWHERE" AS JIMMY REED JUNIOR WOULD SAY.. guess I'll pass on this one.. ITS TOOOO BORING thanks for the soundfile GASHER Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I couldn't see it ever setting a dancefloor alight admittedly but as a piece of soulful music its excellent. One for the session back at your house after an allnighter ..... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

One for the session back at your house after an allnighter ..... If Rob Marriott had a pound for every time someone said that to him Well I love it! And I for one would certainly dance to it if I heard it out. There are hundreds of records that are never going to set a dance floor alight. Doesn't stop them getting played though does it Would it be so bad for one of those records to actually be an excellent piece of soul music for a change?

Corbett80 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) 'Well I love it! And I for one would certainly dance to it if I heard it out.' Well you'll probably get to so nice one, everybodys a winner. Don't think I said it shouldn't be played?? 'Would it be so bad for one of those records to actually be an excellent piece of soul music for a change?' Think thats exactly what i just said??
