RocknRollArchivist 16th Dec 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumLittle Richard - The Fabulous Little Richard | This third Little Richard's Specialty album includes his mono recordings from 14 September 1955 to 18 October 1957. Tracks A1, A4, A6, B2, B3 and B5 were overdubbed for this album on 9 and 26 February 1959 with the Stewart Sisters vocal group (Trudy Hancock, Irene Diaz, Darlene Paul), so those of them which were issued before this album on singles, are undubbed.
Track B1 "Kansas City" (second version of this song, recorded on 29 November 1955) was re-called next (since 1964) "Medley: Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey" (though "Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey" was recorded later than this version of "Kansas City", on 9 May 1956).

The letters "SP" in catalogue mean simply "Specialty". Its stereo releases have "SPS" in catalogue.

Re Jerry Lee Lewis cuts: there are original Sun recordings, but overdubbed later, outside Sun sessions, by some exotic instruments.
Maybe it's also true for Roy Orbison cuts.

A Side label states for Elvis Presley: E. AARON.
B Side label states for Jerry Lee Lewis: THE HAWK.
Both camouflages are intended for mislead or set at ease the vinyl manufacturer.
Later pressings state real names of both artists on labels.
Title on cover: Good Rocking Tonight. Catalogue on cover: LP-100. Mono. Released circa 1973.
Re "Warren Smith" track (B2): both artist and title are wrong. In fact that is "Keepin' All My Lovin'" performed by Pee Wee Trahan aka Johnny Rebel:

Re Jerry Lee Lewis tracks:
Track B3 "Milshake Madamoiselle" is first issued alternate take, not yet reissued anywhere else, except on CD version of that LP by same label in 2011.
Track B5 "Great Balls Of Fire" is not a some alternate take (as back cover states), but the very rare film version from the Warner Bros. movie "Jamboree!" (1957). Hint for distinguish this film version from all others: at 1'19" Jerry Lee laughs.

RocknRollArchivist 6th Nov 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumMac-Kac And His French Rock And Roll - Mac-Kac & His French Rock & Roll | Mac-Kac (sounds as "Macaque"): Jean-Baptiste Reilles (1920-1987), a French jazz drummer, was a first creator of the original French rock and roll (together with Sacha Distel), at the latest in May 1956 (i.e. just before the well-known "Henry Cording and His Original Rock and Roll Boys" invented in June 1956 by the team Boris Vian/Henri Salvador/Michel Legrand and claimed to be a pioneer). Curiously, both teams, too close to jazz, represented Rock & Roll as a comic genre: see the titles.
Not yet issued on CD. A unique album for Rock and Roll collectors.
