Description
This essential LP edition compiles 20 of Chuck Berry's most emblematic
and celebrated songs, taped by the Chess label between 1955 and 1961.
These recordings helped define the exact nature of early rock & roll.
All-time classics such as Berry's car songs ("Maybellene"), his calculated
and carefully crafted instant smashes for the 1950s teenage market ("Reelin'
and Rockin'," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "School Days"), and his celebrations
of the music itself ("Rock and Roll Music," "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over
Beethoven"), are some of the greatest rock tunes ever written. Take "Johnny
B. Goode" specifically – the intro alone is arguably one of the most iconic
pieces of music ever recorded, and the subsequent hand in hand energy
of both the vocal and the instrumentation not only forms a brilliantly hook
throughout the track, but also creates something uniquely Chuck Berry.
This material will convince even the sceptics of Berry's brilliance. All of
these original gems, which have been brilliantly remastered to achieve the
most pristine sound, are simple two-and-a-half-minute songs that convey
all the sheer power and emotion of rock & roll. Enjoy! -
