Chuck Berry - Very Good!!

This essential LP edition compiles 20 of Chuck Berry's most emblematicand 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 calculatedand carefully crafted instant smashes for the 1950s teenage market (Reelin'and Rockin', Sweet Little Sixteen, School Days), and his celebrationsof the music itself (Rock and Roll Music, Johnny B. Goode, Roll OverBeethoven), are some of the greatest rock tunes ever written. Take JohnnyB. Goode specifically � the intro alone is arguably one of the most iconicpieces of music ever recorded, and the subsequent hand in hand energyof both the vocal and the instrumentation not only forms a brilliantly hookthroughout the track, but also creates something uniquely Chuck Berry.This material will convince even the sceptics of Berry's brilliance. All ofthese original gems, which have been brilliantly remastered to achieve themost pristine sound, are simple two-and-a-half-minute songs that conveyall the sheer power and emotion of rock & roll. Enjoy!
