Little Richard is regarded one of the wildest and most frantic rock ’n’ rollers, ever. ’The Explosive Little Richard’ is his mid-sixties comeback album and his first LP under the label of the revitalized Columbia subsidiary, OKeh. Produced by Larry Williams and Johnny ’Guitar’ Watson, it reflects the popular soul sounds of that time. Little Richard had gone full throttle for the powerful Northern soul thang. This set contains some of the finest up-tempo Soul anthems ever recorded, including I Don’t Want To Discuss It, Money and Get Down And Get With It. Bear Family’s 2-LP DeLuxe set contains the original vinyl LP album (sides A and B), augmented with a second longplayer which runs at 45RPM containing outtakes, non-LP tracks and a late 1966 London session, all first time on vinyl. Previously unpublished photos and new liner notes by Chicago soul afficionado Bill Dahl are added for maximum explosivity!
