ReviewWell, 62 years later, it still clocks in at under half-an-hour.
Still could be questioned about all the riffs & chords sounding similar.
You might still even question how derivative of earlier jump-blues artists it is.
But, it still rocks,smokes and blasts out of the speakers just like it always did right from August 1957. No weak tracks, thank you, no fillers, just a human (probably!!) perpetual motion machine, even just on vinyl, blasting a sort of rock 'n' roll Mount Rushmore, with 12 faces this time.
Heaven:-I'm glad I've had a copy nearby ever since, as I was only 5 when it first came out, and I don't recall many successful attempts at playing it on the recorder at infants school-just goes to show you can't beat the original!
For RocknRollArchivist: On this London LP, "She's Got It" plays for 2m 08s and does not have the extended sax solo at the end as is found on more recent CD issues where the track plays for about a further 16 seconds. On this LP, the track fades shortly after Little Richard's vocal finishes and ends quite abruptly.
This great LP has been recently re released with previously unreleased versions of Ready Teddy Rip It Up, Cant Believe You Wanna Leave,not sure if its on vinyl or cd only. Happy Birthday Little Richard 85 years old today.
