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.[1]

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".
