Chuck Berry embodied originality, being the first true gyrating guitar god, and the earliest rock and roll lyricist whose words were worthy of a poet's pedigree. Berry On Top is a 1959 compilation Chess Records assembled from previous Berry singles and various sessions for their 12" debuts. A miniature jukebox of one of the true architects of rock and roll, the aptly titled affair contains a dozen of the biggest hits in music history including landmark recordings like "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene," "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Carol." Gatefold colored 180 gram vinyl LP reissue from Friday Music, mastered by Joe Reagoso.
