Description
Original 1964 CHESS pressing of the CHUCK BERRY album, ST. LOUIS TO LIVERPOOL (LP-1488 MONO)
One of Chuck Berry's most highly regarded albums.
AMG 5 STARS: This album puts the lie to the popular myth that Chuck Berry's music started to fade away around the same time that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, et al. emerged covering his stuff. His songwriting is as strong here as ever -- side one is packed with now-familiar fare like "Little Marie" (a sequel to "Memphis, Tennessee"), "No Particular Place to Go," "Promised Land," and "You Never Can Tell," but even filler tracks like "Our Little Rendezvous" and "You Two" are among Berry's better album numbers, the latter showing off the slightly softer pop/R&B side to his music that many listeners forget about. Side two includes a bunch of tracks, including the hard-rocking "Go Bobby Soxer" and the even better "Brenda Lee," the slow blues "Things I Used to Do" (with a killer guitar break), and the instrumentals "Liverpool Drive" and "Night Beat," one fast and the other slow, that never get reissued or compiled anywhere.
Condition: both the sleeve and the record grade EX. Original inner sleeve included, the record ships in an anti-static, dust free, archival sleeve. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
