(5 Customer Reviews)
THE ESSENTIAL LITTLE RICHARD features 20 songs digitally remastered from the original session tapes.
If you want to get right to the core of the Little Richard discography, this is the disc you need. It contains the original recordings of all of his most popular singles, as released between 1955 and '58 on Specialty Records. As initially realized on these recordings, Richard's wild-man shouting vocal style and fiery piano pounding helped create the original rock & roll template. Coming out of the early-'50s R&B scene, Richard was a key figure in the transition between that music and the burgeoning rock & roll sound.
There's not much stylistic variation from song to song here, but who would want to mess with perfection? "Tutti Frutti," "Long Tall Sally," "Lucille," and others find Richard at the top of his game, with his frantic piano and Baptist preacher-on-a-bender singing providing an unprecedented energy level. The sheer kinetic excitement generated on these tunes is virtually without equal in any rock-related music before or since. It's easy to see why these songs were so inspirational to the Beatles, Kinks, and virtually every other '60s rock outfit.
Includes liner notes by Art Rupe.

| | Marc Leclair Fabric 17 CD (2004)
Essential Little Richard CD music
$15.05 The man who goes by the names Akufen, Nekufa, Anna Kaufen, and Horror Inc. -- Montreal's Marc Leclair -- is known primarily as a producer. He's been DJing for well over a decade, a fact known by few outside of his home base -- so it should be a surprise to many that he's the provider of the 17th Fabric mix. It's a hardly a shock, however, that the mix he concocts -- done with a pair of turntables and a mixer -- isn't inspired by the kind of trance spun by DJ Irene. With rare exception, it's filled out with alternate takes on the kind of upbeat, clicky, hiccup-ridden microhouse that he's been kicking out since the late '90s. His mixing style is closer in spirit to Herbert and Dan Bell than Michael Mayer, at least as far as their commercial mix discs are considered; rather than build some sense of a story line and allow each track to unwrap itself, he'll occasionally ride out a track for several minutes and isn't afraid to get several others in and ...
