Title: Little Richard's first hits are the first 100% Rock & Roll h
Review: I purchased this boxed-set (vinyl) in '89 after I purchased the European version on Ace Records, which contains much more. However, the domestic set remains as perhaps one of the most comprehensive Specialty LR releases - most do not include the final sessions from '64. I believe that "Long Tall Sally" is THE first 100% R & R recording - and remember Elvis & the Beatles relied heavily on this number! And there are many more here equal to "Sally" in Rock & Soul power. Richard recut these tunes many times from '64 to '94, and a few recuts are excellent, but the '50s originals beg to be heard and sound better with time!
