No idea but Wide World Records was based in Houston, Tx and had a lot of Gene's recordings including at least one LP:

Way cool Boo; thanks for asking Gene.(course I already knew...ha) and Gene used Lloyd on everything until end of 1979..as Sonny Garrish started getting worked in; and there is a album that BOTH Lloyd and Sonny are on, at that transition time; but I can't remember which it is????
