Friends from the Beginning -- Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix was Little Richard's eighteenth album release containing new material. Although most of the tracks present had been available on albums dating as far back as September 1964, the album did contain five new tracks *not* from the Vee-Jay vaults: "Belle Stars", "Funky Dish Rag", both instrumentals probably cut in 1971, and "Why Don't You Love Me?", recorded that same year, all of which had no Hendrix involvement, plus instrumental reworkings of "Lucille" and "Keep A-Knockin'". Technically there was nothing "new" about the album (albeit long, stereo versions of very common sides) as it contained material over six years old.
Note: "Tutti Frutti" (instrumental) is actually "Long Tall Sally" (instrumental).
The files at Vee Jay hold that Richard had seven sessions at the company from June 1964 - c. 1965, remaking seventeen of his old hits ("Tutti Frutti", "Good Golly Miss Molly" et al.) and recording thirty brand new ones. Even though Richard had left the company, VeeJay tracks were being released up until 1974. Hendrix played guitar on some of the sessions and this was released to cash in on his death.
