   Little Richard 

Press Release

Craft Recordings is issuing an expanded, two-disc edition of Here's Little 

Richard, coming November 3rd.  I have a pre-release copy of this and am 

currently writing a review for my website (iconfetch.com).  Although the sound 

quality is good - I noticed something odd.

The master takes of the album's 12 original songs all contain echo, while the 

alternates do not.

I've always heard these tracks in their pure (dry) form.  Then, I went back to my 

original "stereo" copy of the album on Specialty, and it also has echo, to give it 

a stereo effect.

Thoughts, anyone?  It just seems odd in 2017 that anyone would be adding 

echo to a mono recording.  That was often done in the early days of CDs, but 

had largely disappeared.

	I have my dad's Regency Pressing, and better conditioned Regency pressing, and some digi-remaster from 1991. The old dryer Regency mono pressings are superlative.
