Here's a beautiful copy of Little Richard's opening salvo to Rock'n'Roll fans. And with this single, the year 1956 began with a wild man shouting "Wop Bop A-Loo Bop, A Long Bam Boom!", a sound that echoes through popular music to this day. The B side is a non-album track. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Specialty Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels with a tiny light stain where a sticker was removed (see scan). The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio is a beautiful Near Mint... The first copy of this single we've had in the store with Near Mint audio!
