Some of the deepest work Ted Taylor ever recorded – great material done for the Jewel/Paula label – served up here on a Japanese-only compilation! LP, Vinyl record album
A great collection of 50s singles from Specialty Records! Features Pentagons, Jerry Byrne, Sam Cooke, Roy Milton, Dukes, Rene Hall, Lloyd Price, Wynona Carr, and more! LP, Vinyl record album
Little Richard doing his much imitated, never bettered thing on the Fabulous Little Richard LP – released near the end of the 50s and featuring emotive r&b numbers he cut in earlier sessions – not all as wild-eyed and fiery as some of his 50s recordings but a soulful thrill! The album does feature a few of the more blazing classics, but all in all, this one demonstrates Richard's versatility more than some of his 50s work. Fabulous tracks from true legend! Includes "Shake A Hand", "Chicken Little Baby", "All Night Long", "Lonesome & Blue", "Kansas City", Maybe I'm Right", "I'm Just A Lonely", "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On", "I'm Just A Lonly Guy" and more. LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 70s pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and bumped corneres.)
A collection of unreleased and alternate tracks from Specialty sessions. LP, Vinyl record album

Hip work from one of the important early bluesmen on Specialty records – a hell of a guitar player, as you'd guess from his name – but also a singer with the same kind of raw charms as Johnny Watson in the 50s! (Blues, Soul)LP, Vinyl record album
(70s black & white label pressing. Cover has ring and edge wear.)
A nice collection of Percy's classic work for Specialty Records from the 50s – issued here in a full LP package from 1970, when Percy was enjoying a bit of a revival. The work's a strong batch of tunes with a sophisticated smooth and bluesy feel – clearly a strong percursor to soul work in the 60s, as can be heard on tracks like "Please Send Me Someone To Love", "Lost Mind", "Memory Pain", "What A Fool I Was", "Lost Love", and "The River's Invitation". (Blues, Soul)LP, Vinyl record album

Larry Williams —
Dizzy Miss Lizzy ... LP Specialty/Ace (UK), Late 50s. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A key collection of work by Larry Williams – the 50's R&B artist who's too-often written off as a rocker, but who actually went onto have a key influence in the early years of soul! Like Johnny Guitar Watson, another contemporary with whom Larry sometimes recorded, Williams had a style that took the bluesy sounds of the 50s, and brought them into a slower, deeper groove – often with an approach that had a lot of deep soul overtones. LP, Vinyl record album

(Mid 80s issue. Cover has light surface marks from cellophane removal, light marks and remnants from sticker removal, and is bent a bit at the edges.)
