Double vinyl album set capturing 20 rare and unreleased Chuck Berry songs on Chess Records. This albm was produced and remixed for this vinyl compilation by the audiophile master Steve Hoffman so you know that the sound is awesome!
This is really an exceptional compilation with some great late 50's and 60's rock n roll. Considering many of the tracks featured are unreleased or newly released versions the quality is superb.....there are no bad demo tracks on this set!
No question Chuck Berry was huge in his day and I would recommend this vinyl set to all lovers of rock! On Johnny B. Goode you can hear Chuck asking the keyboardist to lay off the "Rollover Beethoven" lick .....and then it kicks into a thrilling unreleased version of the tune!
One of my favourite Chuck Berry tracks "Promised Land" is presented here is stereo remised by Hoffman and its sounds like a fresh new song.
And just like the Hoffman : Ray Charles Dunhill Record releases, Steve worked directly with the artists and in this case Chuck Berry in both song selection and audio mastering.
Chuck Berry fans will need to own this compilation and Audiophiles will love this too "
