St.Louis to Liverpool (Audio CD)

Customer Review

... Then this would be "Chuck Berry", "once remarked John Lennon mid-70s when he was asked about the greatest musicians ever.
What we now know as rock music has developed, and no one has had such a big influence on the music style as Berry (For the music historians among you: even Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bob Diddley, Ray Charles and Fats Domino should have had similar influence).
"St. Louis to Liverpool" took Berry in 1964, when he was released from prison had risen (by 3 years in prison), and the idol of the British rock groups like the Beatles or Stones, now the rock stars of the first ablösten hour. (Hence the allusion to "Liverpool").
"St. Louis to Liverpool" shows once again why Berry Master of 4/4 clock, the songwriting (pays attention to the puns in the song) and the guitar playing (just listen to the guitar runs on) was, and each influenced who came to him (and is still coming).
Songs like "Little Marie", "Our Little Rendezvous", "Go Bobby Soxer" and the US Top 40 hit "No Particular Place to Go", "Promised Land" and "You never can tell," last known from the movie " Pulp Fiction "as never sound in the remastered version fresh, and for music fans of more than just historical interest.
The booklet (and the whole package) is very nicely designed, and there are 3 bonus tracks on the CD, which can not, however, compete with the rest of the songs on the CD.
(If anyone should be thinking: "But there is mostly nostalgia in the game ...", only one thing - I'm almost 15 years after this record seem born white but appreciate good things when I see (hear))
CONCLUSION: Great, well overdue, re-issue a great LP. One can only hope that Berry's other boards (eg "On Top") are treated with a similar respect, and will soon be re-released.
Buy recommendation for every music lover!
