Joy de Vivre [Crass]Our Wedding [Two Crass records, black and white editions][London]: Creative Recording and Sound Services, 1981. Two 7" flexi discs. 7 1/8 x 7 1/2 in. Used condition.Both black and white editions of Crass' prank 7" "Our Wedding," released under the name Joy de Vivre in the magazine Loving, a publication aimed at teenage girls of a romantic bent.The song "Our Wedding" was Crass' reworking of their song "Lipstick On Your Penis," which was to be the closer of their album Penis Envy. Lipstick, however, was so heavily based on the old standard "Lipstick On Your Collar," that they needed to rework it completely. The result was "Our Wedding," a parody song that sung so purely and banally about marriage that the teenage love magazine welcomed it with open arms.Condition as described in catalogue note.

[Archie Shepp]Four for Trane LP cover art proofNew York: Impulse!, [1965]. Offset. One sheet, 12 x 12 in. Matted, framed, and glazed to 17 x 17 in.Art proof for Archie Shepp's first record with Impulse!, Four for Trane. The saxophonist spent months trying to contact Impulse! producer Bob Thiele, but it was ultimately through Coltrane's intervention that the record got made. Shepp said of the recording: "When we did the Four for Trane date, it went down almost take by take, because we had rehearsed nightly for months. After the third song, Bob, who had been really terribly rude at the beginning, smoking his pipe like a chimney, he brightened up a bit, sat down and said, 'I've got to call John and tell him this stuff is great.' He said, 'John, you got to come out and hear this!' Well, Coltrane already knew. He had been listening to this stuff for the last couple of years because the avant-garde was all around New York... John was very gracious. He drove out from his home in Long Island to Englewood, at about eleven o'clock at night. I assumed he got out of his bed, because when we took that photo they put on the album cover [he was] with no socks, you know."

Little RichardThe Rill Thing LP, signedAustralia: Reprise Records, 1970. 12-in. vinyl record in sleeve, signed in blue pen in the hand of Little Richard; 12 x 12 in. Record and sleeve in used condition.Signed copy of rock ‘n roll pioneer Little Richard’s 1970 album The Rill Thing (RS 6406). The signature on the front of the sleeve reads, “To you, with love, Little Richard.”Released more than a decade after Little Richard burst onto the music scene with lively hits like “Tutti Frutti” and “Long Tall Sally,” The Rill Thing is considered something of a comeback album for the artist. Recorded at Muscle Shoals in Alabama, The Rill Thing featured two charting tracks—“Freedom Blues” and “Greenwood, Mississippi”—as well as Beatles and Hank Williams covers and a whooping 10 minute 20 second funk jam recorded in a single take.“Freedom Blues” and “Dew Drop Inn” were cowritten by Esquerita, a lesser-known R&amp;B singer, songwriter, and pianist who was the primary influence on Little Richard’s music, performance style, and self-fashioning. Born Eskew Reeder, Jr., Esquerita was a self-taught pianist who began performing rock ‘n roll music at local nightclubs in his late teens. His wild performances, which saw him wailing lyrics strewn with innuendo and pounding the piano keys, had a profound impact on Little Richard. In addition to making Esquerita’s over-the-top performance style his own, Little Richard also adopted his signature pencil-thin mustache, caked on makeup, and pompadour hairdo.Like many early rock ‘n roll pioneers whose contributions to the genre are still under-recognized, Esquerita was a gay African American. While he never had a chart-topping hit of his own, his influence on Little Richard and other R&amp;B musicians secured his place in the history of American music. Esquerita died in 1986 of an AIDS-related illness.Condition as described in catalogue note.
