Limited Edition 3LP Set - Only 500 Copies Worldwide!
Includes a comprehensive collection of Chuck Berry's Chess releases from 1955 to 1961. Limited edition on 3 LP set, only 500 copies worldwide. Digitally remastered for vinyl.
Chuck Berry was one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive. Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986; he was cited for having "laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance." Berry is included in several of Rolling Stone magazine's "greatest of all time" lists; he was ranked fifth on its 2004 and 2011 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll includes three of Berry's: "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", and "Rock and Roll Music". As a tribute to his pervasiveness in the realm of rock, a clip of "Johnny B. Goode" was chosen to be played in the Voyager I spacecraft and is the only rock-and-roll song included on the Voyager Golden Record, proving Chuck Berry and his rock legacy are truly out of this world.
"If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." - John Lennon
"[My mama] said, 'You and Elvis are pretty good, but you're no Chuck Berry.'" - Jerry Lee Lewis
