This is the place to start listening to Chuck Berry. The Great Twenty-Eight was a two-LP, single CD compilation that emerged during the early '80s, amid a brief period in which the Chess catalog was in the hands of the Sugar Hill label, a disco-oriented outfit that later lost the catalog to MCA. It has proved to be one of the most enduring of all compilations of Berry's work. Up until the release of this disc, every attempt at a compilation had either been too sketchy (the 1964 Greatest Hits album on Chess) or too demanding for the casual listener (the three Golden Decade double-LP sets), and this was the first set to find a happy medium between convenience and thoroughness. Veteran listeners will love this CD even if they learn little from it, while neophytes will want to play it to death. All of the cuts come from Berry's first nine years in music, including all of the major singles as well as relatively minor hits such as "Come On" (which was more significant in the history of rock & roll in its cover version performed by the Rolling Stones as their debut release). The sound is decent throughout (surprisingly, except for "Come On," which has some considerable noise), although it is considerably outclassed by the most recent round of remasterings. In the decades since its release, there have been more comprehensive collections of Berry's work, but this is the best single disc, if one can overlook the relatively lo-fi digital sound.

St. Louis to Liverpool is a rock and roll album by Chuck Berry, released in 1964 on Chess Records, catalogue 1488. It peaked at #124 on the Billboard album chart.

Chuck Berry, the father of rock & roll, is releasing his first album in nearly 40 years, which is comprised mostly of new, original songs written, recorded and produced by the legend himself. 'CHUCK' was recorded in various studios around St. Louis and features Berry's longtime hometown backing group - including his children Charles Berry Jr. (guitar) and Ingrid Berry (harmonica), plus Jimmy Marsala (Berry's bassist of forty years), Robert Lohr (piano), and Keith Robinson (drums) - which has supported him for over two decades on over two hundred residency shows at the famed Blueberry Hill club. "This record is dedicated to my beloved Toddy," said Berry, referring to his wife of 68 years, Themetta Berry. "My darlin' I'm growing old! I've worked on this record for a long time. Now I can hang up my shoes!"

1997 reissue on BGO for this pair of outstanding albums by Berry, amongst which the hits 'Johnny B Goode', 'Sweet Little Rock And Roll' & 'Maybelline' are included. 26 trackstotal.

查克·贝里是较早的摇滚鼻祖，“原始”的摇滚音乐家之一。他的音乐混
合了“布鲁斯”( Blues ) ,“乡村音乐”( Country )，而且他有年轻人那种目中无人的外表和诙谐幽默的表演方式。事实上他的
这些特点几乎影响了后来的每一位摇滚音乐家。他最棒的40首作品---包括"bound and Round"(不停的环绕）"Carol(颂歌)、"Brown-Eyed Handsome Man"(棕眼睛的俊俏男人)、"Roll Over Beethoven"越过贝多芬摇滚)、"Back in the U.S.A"(回到美国)"Little Queenie"(小奎尼)等—大都是在50年代中期和晚期录制而 成。贝里靠把“布鲁斯”和“乡村音乐”融为一体的音乐和拿手的吉他双弦演奏技巧使自己独树一帜。贝里自少年起开始学习吉他演奏，后来在1944到1947年间曾由于勒索和抢劫，进入教育改造所。被释放后，他到一间普通的摩托艇工厂做装配线工人，晚上则在夜校学习美容和美发。1952年，他和鼓手艾比·哈丁((Ebhy Handing) ,钢琴手强尼·约翰逊(lohnnie Johnson)组建了一支三人乐队。到1955年时，他们己经成了圣路易斯地区一支优秀俱乐部乐队。1955年5月，贝里在芝加哥遇见马迪·沃特斯(Muddy Waters)，沃特斯把他介绍给莱昂纳德·切斯 (Leonard Chess)贝里给切斯放他们的小样听，其中就包括那首‘`Ida Red n

荷红色)，后来这首歌被切斯改名为"Maybelle”并把修改后的版本送给了DJ弗里德( DJ Freed }，于是贝里有了他的第一支打入拍行榜前10名的歌曲。1957到1958年，贝里又不了不少成绩不错的单曲。除了在音乐上取得瞩目的成就外，他还分别在电影《摇滚，摇滚，摇滚》( Rock，Rock，Rock )(1955)( M inter Rock and Roll )(1957)( Go ,Johnny，Go)(1959)中露面。
从1959年到1990年，贝里多次和法官、警察们打交道，结果就是两次人狱，一次被判人狱缓期执行;还数次交纳罚金。但这些“劣迹”反而更增添了贝里摇滚生涯的传奇色彩。

Chuck Berry：布鲁斯、乡村、一点点的拉丁…在上个世纪五十年代中期，Chuck Berry将这些音乐风格全部融入到了他的个人招牌式的摇滚当中。作为当时的吉他灵魂人物之一，Chuck创造了最基本的12小节摇滚solo的乐句模式，他的吉他licks至今仍被众多的吉他手模仿和研究。他在舞台上弹奏吉他时跳着滑稽的"鸭子步"和煽情的摇摆舞也是让众多歌迷疯狂地爱上吉他音乐的原因。六十年代，两支欧美最受欢迎的摇滚乐队Beatles和the Rolling Stones都受到了Chuck Berry的影响。可以说正是Chuck这位黑人开创了白人摇滚的神话。"The Chess Box"是一张三碟精选专辑，收录了所有Chuck Berry的精彩作品，包括"Roll Over Beethoven"，"Sweet Little Sixteen"，"Johnny B. Goode"等不朽的摇滚经典。这张专辑不仅对Chuck Berry的歌迷，而且是对所有摇滚歌迷来说，都是一张绝对精华的专辑。

After School Session is the debut studio album of Chuck Berry, released in May 1957 on Chess Records, catalogue LP 1426.

Elvis may be referred to as the King Of Rock 'N' Roll, but Chuck Berry also deserves that title His songwriting and guitar playing influenced more artists, directly and indirectly, than any other artist from the original Rock 'N' Roll era. This 12 track compilation features some of the tracks that made him a legend including 'Maybellene', Roll Over Beethoven' and 'You Can't Catch Me'. Golden Stars.

很多相對保守的Blues樂迷不喜歡將Chuck Berry放在Blues的領域。原因是顯而易見的，Chuck Berry除了早期一段時間演奏傳統的三角洲Blues和短暫的Jump Blues演出之外，大部分都是Rock的時間。于是在較真的樂迷中，Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard這三位50年代的傳奇誰才是真正的搖滾桂冠。現在都還沒吵出個結果。其實我更愿意放大來看，Elvis Presley, Little Richard在風潮上影響了更多后來者，這是不爭的事實。Chuck Berry更多的在技術上教導者像Beatles和the Rolling Stones這類的早期搖滾樂隊，他各式各樣的吉他彈奏方式，將吉他帶到處于樂隊中心的位置，他那些反映社會各類問題的批判性歌曲，無疑更符合年輕一代的思潮。如果你熟悉搖滾吉他Solo的基本手法，那就意味著Chuck Berry對于早期的搖滾有多重要。

摇滚乐的鼻祖，美国吉他手，摇滚歌手与作曲家，同时也是开创摇滚乐的先锋之一。在包括“Maybellene”（1955年），“Roll Over Beethoven”（1956年），“Rock and Roll Music”（1957年），以及“Johnny B. Goode”（1958年）等作品的影响下，查克·贝里重新定义了摇滚乐，将节奏蓝调曲风发展成为了摇滚乐的关键元素，同时在题材上更加着重于青少年的生活以及消费者主义等社会问题，并且发扬了吉他独奏以及吉他在表演中的成分，成为日后摇滚乐最大的一支影响力。
