"Released in June 1959, Chuck Berry dropped an absolutely classic hit single. The A-side 'Back in the U.S.A.' was reportedly recorded after an Australian tour where Berry and his bandmates saw firsthand the dismal living conditions of Aboriginal Australians. Of course, it was later parodied by the Beatles with their White Album smash 'Back in the U.S.S.R.'. The B-side, 'Memphis, Tennessee', hit #5 on the Billboard Pop chart and #4 on the R&B chart upon its release, and is one of Berry's most covered tunes of his catalog, including diverse renditions by Bo Diddley, John Cale, Al Green, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Ernest Tubb and Silicon Teens. Die cut Chess Record company sleeve, standard weight vinyl." Black Friday RSD 2018 release.

Rumble Records present a reissue of Chuck Berry's After School Session, originally released in 1957. After School Session is the debut LP from the late, great Chuck Berry, and one of the finest early American rock and roll albums. Featuring such classics as "Brown Eyed Handsome Man", "Havana Moon", "Too Much Monkey Business", "School Days", and more, this is truly one of the greatest first efforts in rock and roll history. Recorded in Chicago between 1955 and 1957, this album was almost certainly worn out by fans across the pond, with names like Lennon, McCartney, Jagger, Richards, Townshend, and more. Essential listening for any fan of real deal rock and roll.

"Reissuing the oft-forgotten Chuck Berry gem on vinyl, painstakingly re-mastered and re-created with the same level of care and detail that have come to define the Boston label's reissues. A bygone classic from one of rock n' roll's great trailblazers."

"Not much is talked about of rock 'n' roll legend Chuck Berry's work during the 1970s. Unless you count his novelty hit "My Ding-A-Ling." Though he would remain a prevalent live fixture for much of the decade, his studio work slowed to a crawl. It was during this time that Berry returned to Chess Records from his previous association with Mercury, to release the overlooked San Francisco Dues in 1971. The album remained obscure and largely unnoticed, but is a fascinating glimpse into Berry's musical mind, and is now looked upon by critics as a forgotten great. The album showcases a different side of Chuck Berry. His signature blend of pioneering rock 'n' roll music would give way to a more somber and contemporary (for the 1970s) sound. Berry's more serious side is on display on yearning tracks like 'Oh Louisiana,' and fragile numbers like 'My Dream (Poem),' which features Berry on piano. The album paints a solemn, never-before-seen portrait of Berry, and still finds room for traditionally rocking tracks like 'Viva Rock & Roll' and the title track 'San Francisco Dues.' Though San Francisco Dues has received newfound retrospective acclaim from critics, it has never been reissued on compact disc. Now in 2013, Get on Down is glad to change that, reissuing the oft-forgotten Chuck Berry gem in a deluxe digipak, painstakingly re-mastered and re-created with the same level of care and detail that have come to define the Boston label's reissues. A bygone classic from one of rock n' roll's great trailblazers."
