USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW PUT UP FOR SALE.

ESQUERITA (ESKEW REEDER JR.) HAS AT TIMES BEEN CREDITED WITH INFLUENCING LITTLE RICHARD, HOWEVER, THAT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY AS HE WAS BORN AFTER LITTLE RICHARD AND HE DID NOT MAKE HIS FIRST RECORDINGS UNTIL 1958 FOR THE CAPITOL LABEL LONG AFTER LITTLE RICHARD HAD BEGAN HIS RECORDING CAREER. IN MANY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ESQUERITA THERE IS A QUIET AN UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE TO RICHARD. HIS STYLE WAS NOT UNLIKE RICHARD'S, HOWEVER, HIS RECORDINGS WERE SOMEWHAT WILDER AND HE WAS KNOWN FOR FRENETIC PERFORMANCES. THE TWO TRACKS ON THIS NORTON RECORDS REISSUE COME FROM 1958 AND 1967. TWO VERY WILD TRACKS.

THE TWO TRACK SINGLE RELEASE IS GRADED AS NEAR MINT FOR BOTH THE SLEEVE AND RECORD. THERE ARE NO APPRECIABLE SIGNS OF WEAR ON EITHER.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Dew Drop Inn. Side 2 - Rockin' The Joint.

7" VINYL RECORD
