Little Richard

Right Now!

£14.99

Released: 26th April 2024. The architect of rock and roll's 1973 release returns on CD/digital for the first time. Newly restored and remastered, the updated artwork contains new liner notes from Bill Dahl. His signing to Warner Bros. in 1970 proved a comeback with three stellar releases for the label: 'The Rill Thing' (1970), 'The King of Rock and Roll' (1971), and 'The Second Coming' (1972). Those three releases, along with 1986's 'Lifetime Friend' were expanded and reissued by Omnivore Recordings in 2021. in 1973, he returned with a new single, 'In the Name', on Kent Records. Then, an album appeared on a Kent subsidiary, United Records: 'Right Now!'. The album, its genesis, and recording are relatively mysterious. 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!
