The Appearances:

The Dynamic Del-Aires are most remembered for their appearance in Del Tenney's Monster Amok classic The Horror of Party Beach. As far as I know this is the only footage of the band performing.

According to the Press Kit for Party Beach, the group had a single released by Coral Records that included a couple of songs used in the film. This is true. There is a single featuring the songs "Elaine" and "Just Wigglin'-n-Wobblin'." (See scans below.)  The press kit also says that 20th Century Fox was planning on releasing a soundtrack of the film. Did this happen? I don't know for sure there are conflicting reports. Does anybody have one?

The group also appears briefly in the Warren Picture Comic Book adaptation of the film. They are also featured in an issue of Kicks, a magazine dedicated to obscure rock and roll bands.

There maybe more and I'm still digging around. I personally don't have any Del-Aires singles so please hold those requests for dubs. In the meantime I'll keep searching for my own copies and we'll see what happens.
