·       CHUCK BERRY –  MORE CHUCK BERRY –  1960 CHESS RECORDS MONO LP 1465

·       GENUINE  U.S. PRESSING

·       NOTE: THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES AS “CHUCK BERRY TWIST” IN 1960;  A FEW MONTHS LATER, IT WAS RELEASED IN U.K. WITH SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED TITLE (“MORE CHUCK BERRY”), VERY DIFFERENT COVER, AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT TRACK LISTING AND SEQUENCING. AFTER THE BRITISH RELEASE NEARLY TOPPED THE CHARTS IN U.K. , CHESS RECORDS REPACKAGED THE REMAINING U.S. COPIES OF “CHUCK BERRY TWIST” RECORDS INTO NEW COVERS  – WHICH MIRRORED THE BRITISH COVERS -  AND RENAMED THE ALBUM “MORE CHUCK BERRY”, AFTER THE BRITISH RELEASE.  ESSENTIALLY, WHAT CHESS DID WAS HIJACK THE DISTINCT BRITISH RELEASE'S TITLE, CONCEPT AND COVER ART AND GRAFT IT ONTO A VERY DIFFERENT EXTANT AMERICAN RELEASE.

·       VERY EARLY PRESSING CIRCA 1963/64 ON BLUE, MATTE (NOT GLOSSY), CHESS MONO LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT.

·       THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT, RECORD CLUB RELEASE OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       ORIGINAL, THICK CARDBOARD COVER (AMERICAN STYLE)

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

·       THE RECORD HAS A 'SHELDON' MACHINE STAMP IN THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) AREA, WHICH IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED A PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY OF THE FIRST PRESSING.

·       As far as we know, this album has NEVER been available on legitimate Compact Disc or in any other way, manner or format.

     More Chuck Berry (A/K/A Chuck Berry Twist) was a compilation album that made perfect sense in England. England's Decca label had held the distribution rights to the Chess label in England until 1958, and had gotten exactly one LP of his material out — the rights shifted to Pye Records in 1960, who rushed out his then current album and a 14-song LP (Chuck Berry) of some of his best songs from the years up to 1960, and then followed it up with this. Drawn on earlier singles and material off of albums up through Rockin' at the Hops (which Pye had missed out on), it wasn't much less coherent a record than most of Chess' own releases, though one wishes they'd found a track other than "Anthony Boy" (one of Berry's weaker LP cuts) to include among the dozen tracks here. Still, the overall thrust, amid solid rockers like "Little Queenie" and "Carol," included not only a fair amount of blues but some Berry rockers with more adult suggestiveness and serious overtones, such as "Brown Eyed Handome Man" and "Reelin' and Rockin'." You can bet your bottom dollar that Keith Richards and Brian Jones wore out the grooves on at least one copy, learning "Carol" and "Beautiful Delilah."

 [Note: American and British versions of this album are significantly different: American version does NOT contain “Anthony Boy” and three other tracks, but contains two other instead]

(REVIEW REPRINTED COURTESY OF BRUCE EDER, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200 albums" compiled by Paul Gambaccini, Omnibus Press, Library of Congress Catalog No.7855565

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more  preferable to its FAKE ("electronically rechannelled") stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 10:1.

(d)          True Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 (front side) and 3 (back side)

-        Cover has a visible wrinkle (crease) in the cardboard base on the back panel

-        Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

-        Cover has a small 9/18/65 date stamp on the back panel

-        Cover has a small quality control (inspection) stamp on the back panel

-        Minor shelf wear noted on the top and bottom seams (nothing significant)

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine  (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
