Album Review
While the man has been feted with numerous best-ofs, box sets and double disc anthologies, this 11-track best-of, part of MCA's 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection, rings the bell in a big way, gathering some of his most essential items on one mid priced disc. Kicking off with "Maybellene" and moving right into "Roll Over Beethoven," "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," "School Day," "Rock and Roll Music," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Johnny B. Goode" and "Carol," the list begins to sound like the history of early rock & roll itself. With the addition of '60s and early '70s hits like "No Particular Place to Go," "You Never Can Tell" and the single edit of "My Ding-A-Ling," you have a Chuck Berry best of that's all killer and no filler, guaranteed to get the juices flowing everytime it's played, no reprogramming necessary. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
