The Architect of Rock n’ Roll. The Georgia Peach. The Originator. The Living Flame. Call him what you want. Little Richard stands alone in the history books. The man who inspired legions to pursue music, blurred racial lines, and sent America into an uproar over his mix of church music, R&B beats, blaring vocals, and New Orleans-fired boogie-woogie recorded some of the most iconic songs and sounds ever heard, then or now.

James Brown called Little Richard his idol. Jimi Hendrix yearned to play guitar like Little Richard sang. Bob Dylan aspired to play in Little Richard’s band. The Beatles covered his songs during their early days in Liverpool. Rolling Stone named him the eighth greatest artist of all-time—and those that preceded the raucous pianist were all influenced by his innovative presence, sexual abandon, and untamed energy. Make no mistake about why he claims more classics—“Tutti Frutti,” “Ready Teddy,” “Long Tall Sally,” “Rip It Up,” “Jenny Jenny,” “Keep a Knockin’,” “Good Golly Miss Molly,” “The Girl Can’t Help It”—that belong in the standard rock repertoire than anyone.

All of those songs—as well as 16 more timeless tunes that comprise the entirety of 1957’s Here’s Little Richard and 1958’s Little Richard—are here, each remastered from the original analog master tapes. For the first time, the sheer exuberance, ferocious urgency, and joyous passion of all of the singer’s moans, screams, yelps, shouts, whoos, and impromptu interjections come alive with high-voltage detail and colorful immediacy. Richard’s vocal outbursts and visceral piano notes swing in time with the jumpy rhythms, funky saxophone lines, and jaunty percussion like never before. This is as explosive, engaging, and lively as early rock n’ roll can sound. The results confirm why we spend so much time and effort to get the music just right. This is history.
