Description

The music world and 1950s America had never seen anything like Little Richard when he first burst onto the scene in 1955 with Tutti Frutti. Bringing together elements of the Blues, Boogie-Woogie, Gospel and New Orleans R n B, this was the musical stew that became known as Rock n Roll, and many consider Little Richard as laying its foundation.

Its difficult now to convey the impact of Little Richard, the shock and the outrage. It is much easier to simply say that collected here are some of the wildest yet enduring songs of the Rock n Roll era, songs that have become standards of the genre, and an immense source of inspiration and influence on all who followed. 28 tracks over 4 sides of 180gm vinyl with free dowloads available too.
