Released: Nov 1988
Label: Geffen
Elvis Presley had the startling charisma, the voice and the range, but this box set of Chuck Berry's revolutionary Chess material should be your first stop on a rock 'n' roll trip. You can hear a lifetime of roadhouse blues, country-folk and rough-and-tumble R&B in Chuck Berry, but the way he churned it all up and spit it out sounds streamlined, modern and American. Just take "Roll Over Beethoven" or "Johnny B. Goode" and you've got the blueprint for thousands of careers full of guitar, rhythm and teen rebellion. And the 68 other tunes on here are just as strong.
