Larry Williams recorded some of Rock N Roll’s most enduring classics like “Short Fat Fannie,” “Bony Maroni,” and “Dizzy Miss Lizzy.” Each of these 45’s can sell for $30.00. His story was like many: a quick rise to fame, then a downfall to drugs, prison and sadly, suicide. His 1959 album, “Here’s Larry Williams,” released by Specialty Records, is worth up to $300.00 today. Re-issues have 1980’s info and copyright date on back cover and are worth no more than $10.00.

(All issues, re issues and counterfeits of every record are described in detail in Mighty John’s “Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left hand column.)
