The Anthology

Sound quality is pretty good, considering Chess equipment and facilities were not state of the art. Lots of great songs here that did not get much airplay, although why they included the raunchy version of Rockin' and Reelin' and the cringe-inducing My Ding-a-Ling is beyond me, but I guess that falls under Anthology. A definitive, must-have for a serious Rock and Roll collection.

This kick ass compilation is only missing "Run Rudolph Run". But other than that, it's damn good.

I purchased this album along with a few other vintage performers albums in the hope that with the aid of modern technology the recordings may be actually capable of being listened to without the need for grimacing at the four thousand clicks, whistles and hums. I find this collection terrific and the sound quality is really good too. Who ever remastered this album certainly knew their stuff. If you like Chuck Berry and the music of our time then you will really like this album.Gerry

Berry's music expresses much fun. Lots of it can't be bad.

I've had my anthology for a week now. The amazing sound quality is the most impressive I've heard yet from Chuck Berry's catalog and I've owned many variations.The audio quality is fresh with little to no distortion. What I like best is the mix which gives one the impression you are in a room with the band.This anthology is very highly recommended for those looking for the best mixing and 'I'm there' type of sound.

Very good selection of the many Chuck Berry songs.

Here you get pretty much everything you will ever need. A great value with 50 tracks on 2 CD's.Also, sound wise this is the best sounding compilation of Chuck Berry.

Amazing

Authentic original recordings but digital equipment highlights lacking. I hope all suppliers will put pressure on AMAZON to stop needlessly destroying millions of pounds worth of prouducts by boycotting their supplies.

This excellent 2-CD set features 50 of Chuck Berry's CHESS recordings in chronological order between 1955 & 1973.With Berry(vocals & guitar) were a variety of talented musicians including Matt Murphy(guitar); Willie Dixon(bass); Johnnie Johnson, Lafayette Leake(piano); Fred Below, Ebby Hardy & Jasper Thomas(drums); Leroy C. Davis(tenor sax); Etta James & The Marquees(backing vocals); The Ecuadors(backing vocals).With Berry's distinctive guitar sound and imaginative lyrics this well-remastered double CD, 'The Anthology', is a superb introduction to the hugely influential poet of rock 'n' roll.

The CD was a great selection. Enjoyed all of the numbers.

Difficult to rate the works of Chuck Berry any differently. A founding father and innovator of Rock n' Roll. Many of the greats of the 60's, 70's and beyond acknowledge the huge influence Chuck had on them and their music.Hail Hail Chuck Berry.

I just love Chuck Berry and his music, this cheers me up any time I hear any track on this excellent CD
