One of the principal architects of Rock & Roll, CHUCK BERRY was the man of whom John Lennon said: “If you tried to give Rock & Roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry.” This compilation of classic Chuck Berry cuts is drawn from EPs issued in the US, the UK and Sweden between 1956 and ’63, and comprises a prime selection of A-sides, B-sides and LP tracks. Between 1955 and ’59 Chuck was a one-man conveyer belt of hit records, with ‘Maybelline’, ‘Thirty Days’, ‘No Money Down’, ‘Roll Over Beethoven’, ‘Too Much Monkey Business’, ‘Brown-Eyed Handsome Man’, ‘You Can’t Catch Me’, ‘School Day’, ‘Oh Baby Doll’, ‘Rock And Roll Music’, ‘Sweet Little Sixteen’, ‘Johnny B. Goode’, ‘Carol’, ‘Sweet Little Rock And Roller’, ‘Back In The USA’, etc. All of these are included on this set.
