Friends from the Beginning – Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix is an album with songs purportedly recorded by Little Richard between 1964 and its 1972 release date. Contrary to the album title and claims in the liner notes, Jimi Hendrix does not contribute anything to the recording.[1][2] Little Richard's involvement in some of the songs has also been questioned.[1] AllMusic describes the album as "totally bogus" and adds:
Fraudulent recordings like Friends from the Beginning serve no purpose but to confuse the public and harm the reputations of the artists whose names appear on these travesties. It is a deception.[2]
First Issue
Despite the questionable nature of the album, three tracks were released from the Vee Jay vaults for the first time on this release, making it a notable inclusion in the Little Richard discography:
- Why Don't You Love Me
- Belle Stars (instrumental)
- Funky Dish Rag (instrumental)
The remaining tracks from the Vee Jay vaults were issued on the albums Mr. Big and Talkin' 'Bout Soul.
