notes:


Prime Mates – Hot Tamales is a dance and electronic music release 
that captures the energetic spirit of classic club culture. Built around
 engaging rhythms, dynamic percussion, and memorable melodies, 
the track remains an interesting listen for fans of vintage electronic music.
The production showcases the characteristics that made many dance 
records from its era stand out: driving beats, layered instrumentation, 
and a groove-oriented arrangement designed to keep 
listeners engaged from beginning to end.
For collectors and enthusiasts of electronic dance music, Hot Tamales 
represents a snapshot of a period when creativity and experimentation 
were central to club-oriented productions. Its rhythmic structure and i
nfectious energy continue to appeal to DJs, music historians,
 and fans exploring classic dance releases.
The Prime Mates only released one single 'Hot Tamales'.
They were a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly 
including Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.

Musicians

No contemporary source gives a complete lineup. The strongest 
published lead is that The Prime Mates were probably a studio-only
 group made up of Sansu session musicians, with possible participation by:

Allen Toussaint – piano (unconfirmed)
Art Neville – organ (unconfirmed)
This attribution comes from collector/researcher notes stating that the 
Prime Mates were “a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly including 
Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.

    Producer – A. Toussaint*, M. Sehorn*
    Written-By – Al D. F. Fayard*
