DESCRIPTION:  This high quality release was part of a larger campaign by MCA and Chess Records to issue recordings that had been out of print for years/decades. This particular set is a six LP set of Chuck Berry’s studio and live recordings of note from Chess Records from 1955-1973 - essentially documenting the birth of Rock’n’Roll in the process. The box comes with a full sized glossy booklet detailing the biography of Chuck as well as a complete sessionography for all the recordings. All LP’s are in their original plastic sleeves and the set comes complete with the original ‘Join The Chess Club’ membership card that was originally included in the set. Absolutely impeccable set, as clean as the day it was pressed and only played once. This is long out of print - especially in vinyl format.

PLEASE NOTE: returns & refunds on PACKAGES DAMAGED IN TRANSIT are refused unless insurance was purchased on the package.

The item pictured is the item for sale.

All vinyl albums/singles are shipped sturdy and safe in hard cardboard mailers made specifically for mailing vinyl. I take great pains to ensure that my packing is the best possible. As a result, this will often add to the weight of the package.

Yes, I remove the vinyl from the sleeve to avoid pressure & wear during transit (sealed records exempted). Sleeves and records will be separated by cardboard dividers

I typically mail using MEDIA Mail as this keeps the cost down - if you would like a different type of service, please send me a request and I will send you an invoice to reflect the shipping alterations you request.

I do charge a handling fee. The additional packing materials I use add some cost and weight to the packages I send. When you win an auction from you, you will not be unhappy with the care I take in packing records.

There is NO tracking service available outside the U.S. - I am not able to track overseas orders once they leave my hands. If you are an international bidder, please be aware of this - I will not be able to track your item under any circumstances, as the information does not exist. My shipping costs include the cardboard mailer, cardboard dividers, and hardboard liners to make sure the box does not get bent/crushed. If you are interested in insurance, please contact me.
