John EckmanVarious 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
