**BRAND NEW, SEALED** 2016 5-LP VINYL BOX SET
**PLEASE NOTE: There is some wear to the corners of the case (particularly in the two upper corners of the case), and the bar code on the adhesive label on the outer seal on the front of the box set is partially colored over with pen lines, but the seal has never been broken, and this vinyl record box set has never been opened or played.
"This deluxe, 5-LP box set includes the entire output of studio albums recorded by Little Richard for the Specialty and Vee-Jay labels, each in their original, mono mixes: Here s Little Richard (1957), Little Richard (1958), The Fabulous Little Richard (1959), Little Richard Is Back (1964) and His Greatest Hits (1965). Each LP is housed in a sleeve jacket, within the slipcase. Rounding out the collection is a 16-page booklet featuring new liner notes by journalist Bill Dahl, plus a treasure trove of photos.
MORE ON EACH TITLE:  Here s Little Richard (Specialty, 1957): Little Richard s 1957 debut kicks off with iconic track Tutti-Frutti, a song which many consider to mark the birth of rock n roll. This must-have album also includes the original recordings of such classics as Long Tall Sally, Ready Teddy, Jenny Jenny, Rip It Up, Slippin and Slidin and more.
Little Richard (Specialty, 1958): By the time he recorded his second, self-titled LP, Little Richard was one of rock n roll s biggest stars. Little Richard finds the flamboyant singer coming into his own, with hits Keep a Knockin , Lucille, Good Golly Miss Molly, and the title track of Jayne Mansfield flick The Girl Can't Help It. 
The Fabulous Little Richard (Specialty, 1959): Little Richard s third album marked the end of his rock n roll period. Released soon after Richard had traded in a life of fame to focus on religion and spreading the gospel, this final album for Specialty features tracks from Richard s 1955-57 sessions that, at the time, had not yet been released. Includes Whole Lotta Shakin Going On, Lonesome and Blue and Kansas City. 
Little Richard Is Back (Vee-Jay, 1964): Having taken several years to focus on religion and gospel music, Little Richard returned to his rock n roll roots kicking off with a European tour (a young band called the Beatles were one of his opening acts). Upon his return, Richard signed a record contract with Vee-Jay Records, for which he recorded a wealth of tracks both old favorites as well as new tunes, with a backing band that, at times, included Jimi Hendrix on guitar. This album, and His Greatest Hits, are the results of these comeback sessions.
His Greatest Hits (Vee-Jay, 1965): In his return to rock n roll, Little Richard tackled a handful of his best-loved songs in the studio. This is an interesting listen with nearly a decade of time between the original recordings of songs like Tutti-Frutti and Good Golly Miss Molly, Richard revisited his classics with new arrangements and instrumentation."
