Chuck Berry - St Louis to Liverpool

Rating: 4/5

Review:
Still a very good album

This remains a very good album.  It's the 1964 release with three bonus tracks, none of which, frankly, add much to the original.  On that there are some incomparable classics like No Particular Place To Go, Promised Land and You Never Can Tell, with a good deal of very decent blues with a distinct Berry feel.  There are one or two weaker tracks like the opener, Little Marie – it's a sequel to the brilliant Memphis, Tennessee but isn’t in the same league at all.

However, almost every album has its weak spots and overall this is a very fine release which stands up well after more than half a century.  It's a true great of Rock & Roll doing some great things, the sound is very good and I can recommend this warmly.
