Editorial Reviews

To this day, it's "buyer beware" when it comes to the music of Little Richard, who rerecorded most of his late-'50s rock classics numerous times after leaving his original label, Specialty Records (following a brief return), in 1964. Not that some of the other recordings don't have merit, but the Specialty versions are the ones that helped shape rock & roll. This three-disc box set includes everything the artist recorded for the label, which means the hits in addition to alternate takes and just plain nonhits. Historians will find this collection (including several songs in development) fascinating, but more frugal fans may find five versions of "Slippin' and Slidin'" excessive. If that's the case, check out either The Georgia Peach or The Essential..., both more condensed Specialty collections. --Bill Holdship
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
If Chuck Berry didn't invent rock 'n' roll, Little Richard Penniman must have. At least that's the way you'll feel after listening to this indispensable, beautifully annotated three- disc boxed set that contains all seventy-three titles the piano pounder cut for Specialty during his seminal 195~57 period and in his brief 1964 return. The hits are digitally breathtaking, but the obscurities are revelatory-an alternate 'Keep A-Knockin'" with an even more incendiary saxophone solo by Grady Gaines, early workouts on 'Slippin' and Slidin'" that document the development of Richard's version, and hilarious radio spots for Royal Crown Hair Dressing.
