Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia & Houston, Texas between 1951 & 1953. Includes liner notes by Rick Coleman. These are the earliest recordings of Richard Penniman (aka Little Richard, aka the Georgia Peach, aka the Greatest) and they show an artist still very much, as the title has it, in a formative stage. At this point, Richard was groping toward his own style and the rock and roll to come; at various times here he sounds - eerily - like blues shouter Roy Brown ("Get Rich Quick") or - equally eerily - Fats Domino ("Every Hour," recorded in 1951, before Domino had really developed his own sound). Other highlights include tracks cut for Peacock Records, including "Always," featuring the Tempo Toppers, his hot stage band (with a woman drummer, no less) and the concluding "Little Richard's Boogie," a jump blues that is a pretty clear signpost toward the future.
