RICHARD PRYOR: "L.A. Jail" (1976, full album) 

He was brilliant & he loved us. His soul was in pain, yet encouraged us to laugh through it. RIP GOAT

I had this album when I was 10 or 12. Used to sit in my room in the dark after bedtime and listen to it. Had it completely memorized back then. Oh, the memories! Today, thanks to youtube, I shared it with my 19 year old son. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

He remains my mentor. He never leaves my mind.

HOLY SHIT ! A Richard Pryor album I've never heard of before. Thanks a million to the uploader

Anyone here ever been arrested?

I've never heard this recording until today and love Richard even more. I don't feel so bad now explaining to my 14-year old why I was arrested at 15. Guess I'm in good company.

great post, richard is the greatest. "I stole a envelope, did 37 years"

Richard Pryor was a awesome comedian and actor

These companies releasing albums from same sets/ tours that he did just trying to cash in. The same jokes on at least three albums that i've listened to. Shame, but still a legend & one of, if not the, greatest stand-up comedians of all time.

Immediately recognized the crazy singing and was amazed at what was essentially Richard Prior singing Ligeti

Richard Pryor (1940 to 2005)

Never heard this album before

GREATEST ALBUM EVER ! lol.. we got our hands on this when we were 14.. still laughing hysterically at it !

"hands against the wall, black boy!" "there ain't no wall!" "find one!"

all hail the king

Richard high as a kite on this.

this was on repeat in my room as a child.

Apparently this was recorded in the 60s and that's wild, I can tell, he sounds young, especially his voices. This shit is so funny.

That life in Peoria was real Richard had alot to feed off comedy wise and Im encouraged by the way he took his pain n turned it into laughter...Rockford isnt to far from Peoria and I grew up in this crap hole so it helps me Identify w him..and I use to struggle in the early crack epidemic myself til it dam near killed me one day after a real bad episode of drinking n smoking I cudnt take it anymore was tired of going to hospital..pretty sure I had reached the point of insanity...I feel youre pain Richard Pryor...youre in peace now and I cannot wait to meet you on the otherside of this wicked system.

They laughing but he telling the truth about them curfews

Tiger Lily was a label run by Roulette's Morris Levy. He took a bunch of tapes he had in the vault and manufactured the albums, essentially without the artists' knowledge. then he sent a bunch of them out as promo copies and sent NONE to actual sales in stores, then claimed a huge loss for the whole thing for tax purposes. There was a certain loophole that allowed a few labels to do this in 1976/1977. This Pryor material might have been sitting in Levy's vaults for years until he got this opportunity to use it. This is by far the most common of all of the tiger Lily albums. My guess is that the promo copies were snapped up and sold by distributors even though they weren't supposed to do so, just because they knew Pryor could sell. There were also some Charlie Daniels albums on the label, and those showed up more commonly than other Tiger Lily albums as well.

A legend and an original

Richard and Redd foxx were the best in the business....

Thank you for uploading this very funny album! I thought I heard every Richard Pryor album...I guess not! Hahaha

I just noticed that one part of the "Groovy Feelings" track contains part of the track "Smells" found on Richard Pryor's first comedy album. I just thought it was weirdly interesting. This album is very funny.

Good old Richie! Completely and totally out of his mind 🤣
