The Chess Box : Chuck Berry
There is songs that Chuck has done that I had forgotten. This 3 CD set is great. they take you back to that time period in America.


Mr.Chuck Berry
One of the fore-fathers of Rock and Roll Music. Magnificent-Music and History. And its just pleasurable to listen to also. Coming from the era of Vinyl-Records to CD's(cant get into MP3's) this was great to hear without scratches of old records. Mr. Berry has poetry in his words and music.


Long live rock and roll.
Chuck was one of the founding fathers of rock and roll, and recorded many classic songs, all of which are here. This three CD box set came out over 20 years ago, but it is arguably still the definitive Chuck Berry collection. Chuck had a long association with Chess Records, and just about all the significant songs he recorded for the label are featured here, although the omission of "I Want to Be Your Driver" is puzzling. But they didn't have room to include every good song he recorded, so it's somewhat understandable. I highly recommend this box set.


It's all here!
Here's a smooth ride through St. The Berry upbound Reissue train really got going around 1990. Louie. . . and across the Rockin' Globe.
Thankfully, the reissue Producer(s) lost some affection for funky but tired things like "I Want To Be Your Driver" and used some later numbers I've been pining for on sets like this: "It Wasn't Me" (no excuse for this missing the Top 100); "Viva Viva Rock And Roll" (actually on the shelf for five years!); and my love, "Ramona, Say Yes". In the wotld of R & R Dreams, here was the ultimate Chuck Berry lip-sync production number on The Lloyd Thaxton Show. Go-go dancers ga-ga over Mister Rick And Roll.
(you tube?. . . . ).
A nice collection. Except for "A Duece". Gotta be kiddin'. A thrice-recycled melody and a lame scenario. Why not something cool from that "Chuck Berry '75" opus?.


This Is A Gas
All the stuff featured here is classic, but my fav is probably disc one (the early stuff). This is the only Chuck Berry collection I own, it was available through a music club many years ago I belonged to for a nice price.

It comes with a wonderful big booklet of info on Chuck along with a conversation (interview), pics, and song info (chart positions) included.

For such an important artist in the history of Rock And Roll, this is an important set to have, a very nice collection of songs to crank any time of the year. Berry is a legend, and this box is a very nice representation of his overall body of work throughout the years. .
