Little Richard (titled Volume 2 in the UK) is the second album[2] by American musician Little Richard, released in July 1958, ten months after Richard announced a retirement from rock and roll to pursue a life in the ministry. Like his first album, it largely contains previously released A-sides and B-sides including several which reached Billboard's Rhythm & Blues and Hot 100 charts.[3] Nine of its twelve tracks charted in the US including Richard's fourth million-seller "Lucille", the rock and roll standard "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and "The Girl Can't Help It", the title song from the motion picture of the same name. Among the previously unreleased tracks are two Tin Pan Alley songs recorded in Richard's frantic style.

Reviewing Little Richard upon its release, Billboard praised the album as "a worthy successor to Here's Little Richard", commenting "the cat is at his frantic best"[8] Cash Box described the album as "in typical explosive Richard style".[9]
Among retrospective reviews, AllMusic's Mark Deming considered Little Richard "every bit as rockin' as his first album, if not more so... there isn't a single throwaway among the 12 tunes on deck".[4]
