Chuck Berry, one
of the most consistent rock and roll performers, delves into the
standard catalogue and comes up with a great oldie which he revamps
in his unique style and sends across in strong commercial fashion.
Working against a good cha cha backdrop, Chuck chantsthe wonderful
evergreen "That's My Desire" in a manner that should be strongly
received by the teeners. Big side to watch closely. Flip, "Anthony
Boy", has the ace betting a cute Italian flavored bouncer. Upper
end in the big one.

Berry Is On Top (Chess LP 1435)
Sure-fire teen merchandise
here with Chuck Berry running through twelve tunes, almost all of
which constitute previous smash hits. Package makeup includes "Maybellene",
"Johnny B. Goode", "Almost Grown", "Around And Around" and other
successes. Latch on - heading for chartsville.
