5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Compilation, April 8, 2006

This is simply a terrific compilation of one of the most influental pioneers in rock music. Contaning 56 tracks recordings for Chess Records during 1956-1971.

Many of these songs will be well-known to fans of British rhythm`n blues groups of the 1960`s like the Rolling Stones, Pretty Things and the Kinks. Here you get the original versions, which in most cases outshine later cover-versions.

There is a lot of fun in these old songs, which show that Berry is not only a great highly original song-writer but also a fine lyricist.

I won`t bring out any particular tracks, except his 1964 song, "You Never Can Tell" which has always been a favourite of mine.

The 16 pages booklet give a good but short overview of his career, but will probably leave wanting to learn more about this extraordinary musician's life and music.

This review is from: Reelin & Rockin: The Very Best of (Audio CD)

This is a great compilation of Chuck Berry's original hits for Chess Records. Just a word of advice, 'Reeling and Rocking' is the 6:58 live version from 1972 and not the single edit as indicated. The single was 4:16.
