WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
• Given the number of people of all races and nationalities - and both sexes - who tried to capture his sound, Little Richard must be the most imitated rock’n’roller of all time.
• Here are two dozen Richard-a-likes that strive to replicate various aspects of the man’s performance or catalogue.
• Richard’s fanbase is still immense, and those who love Richard also tend to love the ‘sincere flattery’ of these imitations - many of which are highly prized (and priced) collectors’ items in their own right.
• Features the usual Ace mix of household names such as Don Covay (as Pretty Boy), Etta James and Joe Tex (Little Booker) and terminal obscurities, for example, Little Ike and Screamin’ Joe Neal, all doing unspeakable damage to their larynxes for everyone’s rockin’ pleasure.
• 25 raspin’ tracks in 55 rockin’ minutes - baby, that IS Rock‘n’Roll.
