THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1958-59 PRESSING!  THIS WAS RECORDED ON THE CHESS BLUE LABEL WITH SILVER PRINTING # LP-1426

 THESE ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY SCARCE AND SURE TO RISE IN VALUE I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE DECENT ONES GO FOR WELL OVER $300.00 AND THE NRMT ONES TWICE THAT! THIS LISTENING EXPERIENCE ON THIS ONE IS INCREDIBLE!

I HAVE VISUALLY EXAMINED, THE 52 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES  (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NO OF WHICH WERE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FEEL-ABLE. NOR DID THEY EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. I GRADE THE VINYL EX+

THE LABELS SHOW VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR   THERE IS A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE ON EACH SIDE. I GRADE THE LABELS VG- DUE TO THIS ISSUE THIS HAS BEEN DRASTICALLY REDUCED! THE VINYL IS BEAUTIFUL AND SOUNDS AWESOME!

BASED ON THE ABOVE I FEEL THE VINYL GRADES AS EX

THE COVER  PRESENTS VERY PROUDLY! THERE IS NO SPLITTING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT STRONG & TIGHT! THE SPINE IS AS WELL AND IS PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS VERY MINOR RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT. THERE ARE SOME CORNER DINGS & CREASES/SOILING/STAINING AS SHOWN.

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE CLEAN, VERY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE. THERE IS VERY SLIGHT TRACES OF A NAME THAT IS LIKE 90% REMOVED JUST ABOVE THE 1ST BOX THAT SAYS SCHOOLDAY. IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS EX+ AND WILL PRESENT VERY PROUDLY!

   I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS  OUTSTANDING!  IF YOU REALLY REALLY LOOK FOR IT.... SOME EXTREMELY MINOR  BACKGROUND NOISE COULD BE HEARD MOSTLY IN  QUITE PASSAGES. BUT I DID NOT CONSIDER THE NOISE LEVEL TO BE EVEN CLOSE TO OVERWHELMING OR DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! 

 THERE NO WERE SKIPS, STICKS, REPEATS OR DISTRACTING POPS OR BURPS!  OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY MUCH ENJOYABLE AND I GRADE IT AS NRMT!

  OVERALL  CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE, I FEEL THIS LP DESERVES A GRADE OF EX+ AND WILL PROVIDE THE NEW OWNER WITH AN INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE AND MANY TEARS OF HAPPINESS!

Chuck Berry, fountainhead of the rock guitar and first citizen of the hallowed halls of rock and roll music, has been hailed by rock and roll fanatics, guitarists and guitar-lovers of every generation as the €˜Father of Rock and Roll€™.

He comes closest to being the one individual that can rightfully be credited with inventing rock and roll as we've come to know it today. He is one of the greatest guitarists and song-writers the world has ever known. His seminal influence on the world of music has been acknowledged by every rock musician in his wake.

Chuck Berry not only breathed life into the rock and roll sound, he infused vital energy and spirit into the rock and roll attitude. His masterfully crafted compositions were an astonishing blend of traditional black rhythm and blues with white country, jazz and western licks, and they transcended race, class and age barriers to capture the imagination of a wide variety of cosmopolitan audiences.

The thumping, foot-tapping guitar licks and the magic of the witty, rapid-fire lyrics complete with sly references to cars, girls and growing-up pains became the anthems of a generation.

Berry€™s music has managed to stand the test of time and reverberated through the ensuing decades to excite music connoisseurs even in the twenty-first century. To this day, his songs are essential listening for every true rock fan. Bequeathing his talent with the reverence it deserves, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Chuck Berry #6 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Compliments of Scotty Smith of Guitarists Rock.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

 NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+ (EXCELLENT)

VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not  seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable. 

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1".  Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
