Yes he recorded one album for Dakar records titled "Man On The Inside" in 1973. Other thabn that,he recorded a bunch of singles for several different labels. Many of them including these two songs can be found on his "The Johnny Sayles Story" CD and you can find it online at some music shop sites.

His Dakar LP is available on CD as a twofer along with Fred Hughes' "Baby Boy" LP.
