The Incredible Little Richard Sings His Greatest Hits – Live! is the first of two albums Little Richard made for the Modern Records label. A live recording from the Domino Club in Atlanta compiled from more than one concert, all the tracks on the album have overdubbed audience noises.
Ace Records has yet to release these (plus several never issued tracks) on CD (except one, Directly From My Heart to You). Ace reports a legal entanglement prohibiting unreleased songs, including "Good bye, so long"; "Try Me"; "Roll Over Beethoven"; "High-Heeled Sneakers" and "I Got a Woman".
