Description
Originally released in July 1959 on Chess Records, Berry Is on Top is a landmark third studio album that functions as a quintessential mini-greatest-hits collection of early rock and roll. This original mono black-label pressing features foundational tracks that defined the genre, including Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, Maybellene, and Little Queenie. This specific variant is noteworthy for the track B5 title discrepancy, listed as Hey Pedro on the jacket but Pedro, Hey on the record label itself. The runout numbers 9258 and 9259 confirm its status as an early US issue. The vinyl maintains strong VG+ visual and playback quality with minimal surface markings, while the jacket shows its age with a split along the bottom edge. This remains an essential piece of mid-century Americana and a top-tier collectable for any classic rock enthusiast.
