Here is a very cool 2 LP set Chuck Berry compilation featuring some fantastic guitar and early rock'n roll music. Of course Chuck Berry was one of the most influential rockers of all time ...perhaps the most oft cited one !
Bands like The Rolling Stones, Beatles and The Animals were clearly influenced by the songs of this guy!
Songs like "Johnny B. Goode", "Too Much Monkey Business", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Reelin' and Rockin' litter this fantatsic double album set.
Charles Edward Berry was born in St. Louis Missouri coming from a very musical family. Early in his career he signed onto Leonard and Phil Chess' label which was aply named CHESS. All the music on this compilation comes from Berry's Chess-era days.
My favourite Chuck Berry song is the intimately blues "Deep Feeling"which has a huge wall of guitar sound.
The vinyl states that this music was electronically altered for stereo and i think has that famous dog-head vinyl sound......definitely not audiophile quality but still highly addictive and 100% enjoyable!
