ROCK-A-RAMA

CAST A LONG SHADOW - LITTLE RICHARD - (EPIC):::Somehow, we missed this one (actually we didn�t, that cartoon a couple issues ago was the review but you know how things get misplaced) and that�s a shame. A really GREAT Richard record; the two live sides alone are worth the price of admission. It's older stuff, from his Okeh period, and incredibly fine. All the Richard standards are here, too, and if you haven�t got (or can�t find) the 17 Greatest Hits 1p on Specialty you want and need this one. L.R. indeed cast a long shadow.
