Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Charismatic showman Richard blazed a trail with his sequined jackets and frenetic pounding of the Piano keys. His breakthrough track Tutti Frutti, would not only make him a star and kick off an influential career that would span over half a century, but was one of the templates for what we know as popular music. Indeed, as People Magazine proclaimed, 'There could not have been a Michael Jackson if there had not been a Little Richard."

Naming his third album for Reprise The Second Coming may have been pushing the outrageousness a bit far, but considering his previously LP was titled King Of Rock And Roll it was clear that humility was not Little Richards strongest at tribute. However, it was more a nod to the concept of the album, than the ego of the artist.Reuniting with Robert Bumps Blackwell and a host of studio musicians from the 50s, the studio team was met by some of the top session players of the early 70s at The Record Plant in Los Angeles to cut the album. Notable players like Lee Allen, Jim Horn, Earl Palmer, Chuck Rainey, and Sneaky Pete Kleinow were on hand for the proceedings.While Richard would exit the business soon after its release to follow his religious pursuits, The Second Coming marks the end of what could be called his second chapter. And, a third was on the way a decade later. The Second Coming is back as a 12" long player, and pressed on opaque red vinyl with a printed inner sleeve that includes liner notes by Bill Dahl..FEATURES:The Architects third release for Reprise records.Pressed on opaque red vinyl.Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves.Lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Service in MemphisPackaging contains liner notes from Bill Dahl.

Lifetime Friend (Turquoise Vinyl) The Architect of Rock And Roll's final album. Includes the original version of "Great Gosh A'Mighty" featured in Down And Out In Beverly Hills. Pressed on opaque turquoise vinyl. Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves. Lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis Packaging contains liner notes from Bill Dahl. After the 1984 release of his autobiography, The Quasar Of Rock And Roll, Little Richard decided to come out of retirement. It had been seven years since his last record, the gospel focused God's Beautiful City, and over a decade from his 1970s return album run on the Reprise label (The Rill Thing, King Of Rock And Roll, and The Second Coming, plus the one that Reprise shelved at the time, Southern Child). or the new album, Richard went overseas to record in London with a powerhouse band including Billy Preston, Muscle Shoals guitarist Travis Wammack, bassist Jesse Boyce, and drummer James Stroud with producer Stuart Colman at the helm. Warner Bros., unleashed Lifetime Friend in 1986. With ten tracks of rock 'n' roll mixed with spiritual lyrics (and even an early rap appearance), the release was another return to form. His third coming, one could say. The album's blistering opener "Great Gosh A'Mighty" (co-written with Billy Preston) would even be recut by Richard for the film Down And Out In Beverly Hills, nearly cracking the Top 40. Two other tracks, "Operator" and "Somebody's Comin'," would make chart appearances in the UK. As Dahl writes in his liners, "Rock 'n' roll never had a better friend than Little Richard Penniman. He devoted most of his life to it. Lifetime Friend was his last great recorded statement, and even if Long Tall Sally, Miss Molly, and Lucille weren't in the choir, Richard gave the album his heavenly best." Lifetime Friend is back as a 12" long player, and pressed on turquoise vinyl with a printed inner sleeve that includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.

Why you'll love it...
We call Little Richard “the architect of rock ’n’ roll” largely because of his very first album — the wild, frenetic, and fun Here’s Little Richard, 12 tracks of something no one had ever played before and no one had ever heard before from any recording artist, Black or white. Accompanying his own orgasmic wails and raspy coos by pounding on the piano, he invented an eight-note pattern that we now take for granted as what so much contemporary music sounds like.

The Architect of Rock and Roll’s 1973 release returns on Sunflare colored Vinyl available for Record Store Day. Newly restored and remastered, the updated artwork contains new liner notes from Bill Dahl. Right Now!, its genesis, and recording are relatively mysterious. Per Richard’s autobiography, the set was cut in one night with Robert “Bumps” Blackwell in order to secure funds for an upcoming tour. Other than “In The Name” carrying a recording date of January, 1973, that’s all of the information we have. No songwriters are listed on the artwork, and while “Dock Of The Bay” and “Chains Of Love” looked (and are) familiar, the track “Chain Chain Chain” was in fact the Aretha Franklin classic “Chain Of Fools.” While Richard calls out musicians’ names in the recordings, who they actually are is speculation. What is known is that the album is a scorcher. Richard’s barrelhouse keyboards set the tracks jumping—running in length from under three to over eight minutes. There are soul ballads (“Don’t You Know I”), stompers (“Geraldine Jones”), and slow blues. Had Richard and Blackwell known that the release would come out as unadorned and poorly distributed as it did, they might have had reservations. But, out it came on a budget label, and was relegated to the cutout bins and never reissued until now.

No one expected the power of Little Richards return in 1970 with The Rill Thing. The following years King Of Rock And Roll helped demonstrate that it was no fluke. This time, instead of handling the production and arranging duties himself, Richard handed those responsibilities off to the multi-talented H.B. Barnum, a widely-respected actor, musician, vocalist, arranger and producer who was on call for the likes of the Supremes, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Aretha Franklin, and Lou Rawls among others. From originals to covers of Motown classics, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Hank Williams, and Hoyt Axtons Joy To The World (made famous by Three Dog Night), there was no doubt who sat on the throne of popular music. This time around, Green Power was selected as the single with its flip, Dancing In The Street, but no chart action was to be had. Though Don Petersons striking cover photo likely attracted more than one taker browsing the record stores in 71. This album nicked Billboards pop album charts in November of 71, and underscored the obvious: The King of Rock and Roll was back! The King Of Rock And Roll is back as a 12" long player and pressed on white vinyl with a printed inner sleeve that includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.FEATURES:Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member Little Richard is a musical institution.Pressed on white vinyl.The 1971 return follow-up smash to The Rill Thing.Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves.Lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis.Packaging contains liner notes from Bill Dahl.

Omnivore Recordings released it in its original album form for Record Store Day 2020. Over the years, alternate takes, single sides, and a soundtrack appearance from $ (starring Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn) were included on expanded CD reissues of The Rill Thing, King of Rock and Roll, The Second Coming, and Southern Child.Now, 13 of those tracks are compiled on this special LP releasesome making their vinyl debut. Settin' the Woods on Fire: The Reprise Rarities collects and showcases Little Richard's dynamic time on Reprise, and offers a deeper look into the man and music whose output was, and is as engaging and original as it had ever been.Mastered by Grammy winner Michael Graves and cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Settin' the Woods on Fire includes new liner notes from writer Bill Dahl, and paves the way for those classic Reprise-era albums' return to vinyl.Little Richard / Settin' the Woods on Fire: The Reprise Rarities LP (Opaque Orange Vinyl)

Known as ‘the Architect of Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ the flamboyant rhythm and blues extrovert, Little Richard, made an incredible impact with unorthodox piano playing and rasping, shouted vocals, yielding a series of pivotal hits in the mid-1950s, but he abandoned secular music for gospel following a tour of Australia in 1957. Lured back into rock by promoter Don Arden, his UK tour featuring The Beatles as support, Little Richard Is Back was his comeback set for Vee Jay, his voice now deeper and seasoned; the range of covers are tackled with plenty of pep, and original ‘Groovy Little Suzy’ was co-written by Harry Nillson. All hail the King!
