Settin' The Woods On Fire: The [LP]

Little Richard's place in rock history has never been disputed. "The Architect" returned in 1970 on Reprise Records with The Rill Thing, and during his tenure at the label, he recorded four albums. Only three saw a release; Southern Child would remain in the can until the songs from the record appeared on a 2007 compilation. Omnivore Recordings released it in its original album form for Record Store Day 2020. Over the years, alternate takes, single sides, and a soundtrack appearance from $ (starring Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn) were included on expanded CD reissues of The Rill Thing, King of Rock and Roll, The Second Coming, and Southern Child.

Now, 13 of those tracks are compiled on this special LP release-some making their vinyl debut. Settin' the Woods on Fire: The Reprise Rarities collects and showcases Little Richard's dynamic time on Reprise, and offers a deeper look into the man and music whose output was, and is as engaging and original as it had ever been.

Mastered by Grammyr winner Michael Graves and cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Settin' the Woods on Fire includes new liner notes from writer Bill Dahl, and paves the way for those classic Reprise-era albums' return to vinyl.
