Chuck Berry
major new Chess compilation CD
Saturday, 22. December 2007 -
12:43
Fans may be interested to know that
tomorrow (Friday) sees the release of "Johnny B Goode:
His Complete 50's Chess Recordings", a 4-CD, 103-track box set of Chuck
Berry's complete
Chess recordings from May 1955 thru July 1959, 16 tracks of which are previously
unreleased.
Currently Hip-O Select's Featured Release, the CD Edition of this new Chuck
Berry album is
limited to 5,000 non-numbered limited edition copies.
Of particular interest is a pair of previously unreleased 11 minutes-plus
in-studio jams featuring
Chuck Berry with pianist Johnnie Johnson, bassist Willie Dixon and drummer
Jasper Thomas -
a blues called "Long Slow Jam" and a rocker called, suitably,
"Long Fast Jam" from 1958.
All of this remarkable music is elaborated on by tidbits of studio dialog,
complete session by session credits,
a 1950s Chuck Berry singles discography, period photos and comprehensive liner
notes by
Chuck Berry's discographer/biographer Fred Rothwell, author of "Long
Distance Information: Chuck Berry's Recorded Legacy",
who also compiled the set with Universal's reissue producer Andy McKaie.
