Berry Is on Top

Chuck Berry · 1959

Berry Is on Top appeared in July 1959. Almost all its selections had already been issued as singles; “Blues for Hawaiians” was the exception. The album's coherence comes from collecting a body of performances rather than documenting a newly conceived continuous session.

The Great Twenty-Eight

Chuck Berry · 1982

The Great Twenty-Eight was released in 1982, surveying Chuck Berry's first decade at Chess. It gathers twenty-one singles, six B-sides and an album track. The selection makes the short recorded performance, rather than a later album concept, the unit around which the retrospective is built.

After School Session

Chuck Berry · 1957

After School Session is Chuck Berry’s debut studio album, released in May 1957 by Chess Records. It compiles twelve tracks recorded across five sessions at Universal Recording Corporation in Chicago between May 1955 and January 1957. Most songs had previously appeared as singles. The album features Chuck Berry on vocals and guitar, Johnnie Johnson on piano, and contributions from Willie Dixon, Fred Below, L. C. Davis, Jasper Thomas, Ebby Hardy, Otis Spann, Jimmy Rogers, and Jerome Green. Steel guitar appears on 'Deep Feeling'. The sequencing reflects single release order, not recording chronology. It arrived during Berry’s peak commercial and creative period, when he was already an established star with hit records, film appearances, and a touring career.
