Various Artists, Rip It Up: The Best of Specialty Records, 2021 on Craft

Craft Recordings release from 2021 – but all the original recordings are from the 1950s (and a few from the 40s).

Wonderful collection – the Little Richard tracks are likely the most well known, but I love the early Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, Lloyd Price, and Jesse & Marvin.

Tracklist:

  • Lloyd Price– Lawdy Miss Clawdy
  • Little Richard– Long Tall Sally
  • Roy Milton– R.M. Blues
  • Sam Cooke– I’ll Come Running
  • Joe Liggins– Pink Champagne
  • Little Richard– Tutti Frutti
  • Percy Mayfield– Please Send Me Someone To Love
  • Roy Milton– Information Blues
  • Larry Williams – Bony Moronie
  • Little Richard– Lucille
  • Jesse And Marvin– Dream Girl
  • Jimmy Liggins– Drunk
  • Lloyd Price– Ain’t That A Shame
  • Larry Williams – Short Fat Fannie
  • Percy Mayfield– Lost Love (Baby Please)
  • Lloyd Price– Oooh-Oooh-Oooh
  • Roy Milton– Best Wishes
  • Little Richard– Rip It Up

Released on yellow vinyl via the Craft Recordings site – limited edition of 500 copies.

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When you rock and roll
When you do the stroll
Come on, Lizzy!
Love me 'fore I grow too old
Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride
Run and tell your brother
Baby, don't run and hide
Come on, baby!
Love me 'til I'm satisfied

recorded 19 Feb 1958

El comunicado oficial habló de suicidio, pero sus incursiones en el mundo de las drogas y supuestamente en la prostitución dejaron un halo de sospechas sobre el cuerpo de #LarryWilliams que yacía inanimado el 7 de enero de 1980 en su casa de Hollywood Hills en Los Ángeles con una bala en su cabeza. Su nombre, un tanto olvidado y esencial, tuvo sus principales éxitos como sucesor de Little Richard a finales de los años 50´. Una clara señal de su influencia son los covers suyos realizados por bandas de la denominada invasión británica de mediados de los 60´ como los Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals y los Who.
