Chuck Berry – Essential Recordings – 3CD – 60 tracks

One of the most important pioneers of rock & roll, Chuck Berry (1926-2017) combined blues, country, and a witty, defiant teen outlook into songs that have influenced virtually every rock musician in his wake. Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986, and is included in several of Rolling Stone magazine s greatest of all time lists. He was ranked fifth on its 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. This splendid 60-track 3-CD set presents some of the finest Berry performances from the period 1955-61, including many of his best-known compositions, such as Johnny B. Goode (the only rock-and-roll song included on the Voyager Golden Record), Almost Grown , School Days , Maybellene , and Rock and Roll Music . Includes 20-Page Booklet With Memorabilia And Updated Liner Notes.
