LITTLE RICHARD'S signature has been authenticated and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This is certainly the ONLY album like this in existence today!
Original Specialty label with the white core, black rim, and yellow "Specialty" logo on top of the label. Original thick cardboard cover without zip code. Label bears the "SP-LP-100" catalog ---this is NOT a second pressing with a catalog number SP-2100.
This is an unbelievable opportunity to own this incredible piece of rocknroll history... Don't let it pass you by! So, who was the "Roland" that Little Richard autographed this album for? "Roland" is Roland Oeller, known in musician circles as Roland Stone, a talented songwriter and artist who came to fame in the late 1950s in the heyday of the garage bands in Milwaukee.
Roland performed with and wrote songs for bands such as The Apollos, The Legends, the Royal Lancers and others. Roland was also a very talented artist who's paintings can be found in galleries throughout the southwest. Tragically, Roland passed away in a terrible accident in November 2014. I obtained this record from Roland's son, Adam, who told me many stories of his father's exciting life as a musician who often played backup for the Rock n Roll greats Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. Please see links below for more information about the late Roland Oeller.
I did not play this album and my descriptions are visual only. THE CONDITION OF THIS RECORD. This album is rare in any condition, let alone HAND SIGNED by Little Richard himself, one of the most difficult autographs to obtain, and on his VERY FIRST album, the VERY FIRST 1957 pressing! Please keep this in mind. The album cover presents as Good, (G) or Good Plus (G+).
Cover has seam splits top and bottom approximately 8 long which have been attempted to be repaired long ago with tape, which is no longer present. It has medium staining, light scuffs, evidence of tape residue, and writing on the back in red ink pen which is indecipherable except for the name "Richard". The cellophane has begun to peel on the front opening edge. The record presents as Very Good (VG) or Very Good Plus (VG+). I do not have a record player to test play it on, but there are no massive deep scratches, only many light surface scratches.
