Comments and Reviews

RocknRollArchivist 15th Dec 2017		A side includes between tracks A5 and A6 the track "I'm Just A Lonely Guy", omitted in tracklist, with chatter and laugh. This is the single version of song (not overdubbed) never released on vinyl album. A1: Little Richard speaks, asked by Gene Nobles: until now released nowhere else. A2: "The Thing" (aka "Long Tall Sally") take 2, until now released nowhere else. A3: "Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey (Going Back To Birmingham)" take 8, previously unreleased. A4: Take 4, previously unreleased. A5: Unedited master, previously released on Specialty SP-2113. A6: Version 1 take 2, previously released on Specialty SPS 2136. A7: Not in 1966, but in 1964. Until now released nowhere else. B1: From Atlantic session of February 14, 1963, previously released on Atlantic 45-2181. B2 to B7: From Mercury session of March 1962, released only in 2014 on CD "God's Beautiful City". The release date is 1981, as stated on back cover of LP in liner note. There Chas White says: "A book on the life of Little Richard will be published in August 1981..." It would be a logical thing to write it in early 1981 or at the end of 1980. And from the booklet of CD "God's Beautiful City": "1981 THE GREAT LITTLE RICHARD [Demand 0025] (import)"
