And God bless Art Laboe for giving us Dyke & the Blazers and the Music Machine on his Original Sound label (neither of whom were necessarily "low rider" acts, but were giants all the same).
Malo "Suavecito"
5 Stairsteps "Ooh Baby Baby"
Barbara Lewis "Hello Stranger"
The Larks "It's Unbelievable"
man there are so many.
SHAMELESS PLUG:
CHECK FOR JONNY "CHINGAS" PAYCHECK IMPALAVILLE 2.1 ONLY AT GOOD RECORDS NYC!!!
ft. your sancho Juanito Cheque De La Paga and live calls from San Jose to Salas, Whittier to West Grand
Dogs why did this and 3 Santo/Johnny 45s (incl Sleepwalk) pop up at the flea last weekend. I was so geeked. Rape_Donkeys got the Flamingos though
Man, another good call. I need to break that record out again, and you're right, there are way too many.
So your mix is an oldies one? WHERE DO I PAYPALYU?
All shall be revealed in time. Haha! Nah seriously I'm just getting the cover together and tightening a couple screws. It'll be done for the store opening.
It is straight oldies, latin, garage. Lowrider mix to remind me of home
Me its all about the 51 merc hard top chopped with frenched lights and door handles... maybe an extended back end... lowered of course... shit is bananas
Also known as the Lead Sled.... banoodles.
Anyone ever seen ZZ Top's caddy?? Shit is bananas too... Beautiful work.
One of my top ten records of all time. Sublime...
first on the Arizona Artco label though... then transferred out when the Artco label was brought to LA and over to Laboe and OS.
theres an Ace comp coming out this summer of Dyke's Arizona stuff he did and the OS stuff as well. plus newspaper clippings and a whole bunch more. im looking forward to picking that up
Wasn't 'Funky Broadway' the only Dyke 45 on Artco?
Not to take away from Artco, but even though they started it, Laboe deserves credit for carrying it on and taking Dyke further.
And it also amazes me how the Music Machine and Dyke go in and out of print, but those damned OLDIES BUT GOODIES compilations not only stay in the catalog (with tracks added, reconfigurated and deleted), and I suspect keep that label in business. I mean, there's even an O.B.G. board game...and for a few years in the 70's there was an O.B.G. nightclub as well.
and yes Larr it is the only Artco 45 he did.
Billie Stewart - Sitting in the Park
Tommy James - Crystal Blue Persuasion
Cornelious Brothers - Too Late to Turn Back Now
Brenton Wood - I Like the Way You LOve Me
The Persuaders - Thin Line Between Love and Hate
I had a dream the other night that I found a Jackie Mitto 45 that covered "Hello, Stranger" and was jazzed at how dope it was going to be. This 45 doesn't exist, dose it?
