One Dozen Berrys

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

One Dozen Berrys is Chuck Berry's second studio album and was released in March 1958 on Chess Records. All the recordings came from Sheldon Recording Studio on South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, the studio that would later be called Chess Studios. The album is mainly a compilation: apart from five new tracks and an alternate take, all the songs had already appeared on singles.

New were Rockin' at the Philharmonic, Guitar Boogie, In-Go, How You've Changed and It Don't Take but a Few Minutes. There are also instrumental pieces, such as Blue Feeling. Low Feeling is the same recording as Blue Feeling, but with the tape played back at a slower speed. Well-known titles such as Sweet Little Sixteen and Rock and Roll Music are also included. In the band, Johnnie Johnson and Lafayette Leake play piano, Willie Dixon bass and Fred Below or Ebbie Hardy drums. In 2012 the album was released by Hoodoo together with Berry Is on Top on one CD.
