[6][10][11] Laff also released a few discs by white artists, notably including Kip Addotta's "Wet Dream", Car 54, Where Are You?

[8][1] Jimmie Walker of the sitcom Good Times once told a reporter, “I almost had a deal with Laff Records, but they were a little too dirty for me.”[8] Laff also became notorious both for the questionable quality of its record pressings and for its frequent repackaging of previously released titles with new titles and artwork.

Pryor released only one album for Laff, Craps (After Hours), with his direct participation and then later signed a deal with the larger Stax label.

[18] Pryor himself publicly criticized the albums for including material that was nearly a decade old at the time, and encouraged Grammy voters to choose something else.

These releases disappeared from store shelves after Island's parent company PolyGram was absorbed by Universal Music.

The Pryors then gave free rein to Rhino Records to go through the tapes and make an anthology that included the entire Craps (After Hours) album and the best of other Laff releases.
