For those who want more classic Little Richard than a greatest-hits collection but aren't devoted enough to spring for the expensive box sets, this is an excellent anthology of 24 of his best lesser-known tracks. Most of it dates from his classic era at Specialty (1955-57), with alternate takes of a lot of his hits and some decent B-sides; there are also a few songs that he cut for the label during his 1964 comeback, including the minor hit "Bama Lama Bama Loo."
I spent last week in Los Angeles, hanging with my family. Along with the cooking, laughing and listening I did, I was finally able to coerce my dad into writing another "DadMog". Hope everyone enjoys reading this as much as I did:It's 1985, we're in a radio studio in Santa Monica with the architect of rock and roll, Little Richard himself, and he can't stop talking about Buddy Holly's schlong...

Some years ago I bought the box set of Little Richard's recordings for Specialty RecordsIncluded therein is a short promo segment where Little Richard is recording various takes pitching the pomade Royal Crown HairdressingIt's amazing. He approaches this with tremendous energy and enthusiasm, and no take is even remotely the same. He's just riffing to beat the band. Kinda like his glorious music.
