Free Music Notes for Specialty Sessions Boxed Set

Free Music Review: Little Richard Fans, Rejoice!
Hit: 5 Stars

I own this on vinyl, an astounding 5-LP boxed set. I love Little Richard. Of all the piano players of the '50s, he is easily the most fun, energetic, lively and animated. This set combines master takes and alternate versions and rehearsal demos, culminating in the ultimate Little Richard anthology!

I would not recommend this to casual fans, or newbies, as they will find themselves in way over their heads. However, for the serious collector, and more dedicated fans, it is truly a celebration of Richard's great talent. Everything is here, and it is a pleasure to listen to for anyone with a lust for the 1950s.

"Long Tall Sally (The Thing)" is a highlight here -- a very different version of the song than what most people know. Also the alternate takes sometimes are complimented with bits of studio dialogue here and there. I find that fascinating. And unlike other out-takes compilations, this collection brings you the master version directly after the alternate take, so you can compare the two back-to-back and watch Richard's development of the song. That is a good way of doing things.

As of the time of this writing (March 2011) it seems like this box set is getting scarce. I recommend, if you are interested, you pick up this must-have collection before it's gone forever.

Specialty Sessions Boxed Set Poster

To this day, it's "buyer beware" when it comes to the music of Little Richard, who rerecorded most of his late-'50s rock classics numerous times after leaving his original label, Specialty Records (following a brief return), in 1964. Not that some of the other recordings don't have merit, but the Specialty versions are the ones that helped shape rock & roll. This three-disc box set includes everything the artist recorded for the label, which means the hits in addition to alternate takes and just plain nonhits. Historians will find this collection (including several songs in development) fascinating, but more frugal fans may find five versions of "Slippin' and Slidin'" excessive. If that's the case, check out either The Georgia Peach or The Essential..., both more condensed Specialty collections. --Bill Holdship
