About The Record:

Chuck Berry's Greatest Hits peaked at no. 34 on the Billboard Albums Chart. This collection was the first official Hits LP from Chuck Berry, inaugurating a long, long line of repackaging Berry's biggest hits. It's a very good overview of his hits through 1964, containing 12 songs, almost all of them blockbusters: Roll over Beethoven, School Days, Johnny B. Goode, Memphis, Maybellene, among others, with Nadine being the most recent song here. Of course, these tunes were repackaged on other sets later, which may be why this particular collection never showed up on CD, and if you find this LP, it's both a good listen and a nice little piece of history.
