For the first time on a single vinyl release, you can now explore Little Richard’s earliest recordings from the early 1950s with the bands of Johnny Otis and Billy Wright, as well as sessions with the Deuces of Rhythm and the Tempo Toppers. Included here are all of his pre-Specialty recordings (or pre-“Tutti Frutti,” if you prefer), his four singles for RCA, and every single released on Peacock Records.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve and featuring fully remastered sound, The Implosive Little Richard also includes extensive liner notes, reproductions of the original records, and dozens of photos, advertisements, press clippings, and contemporary reviews from the era.
