If you buy this disc in tandem with "Greatest Hits II" then you will have almost all of Chuck Berry's greatest hists. The sound quality is very good, there are no live versions (which mar other Berry "greatest hits" packages), and there is nothing but great music here.

It's a shame that Chuck Berry is not universally recognized as one of the greatest rock lyricists and most innovative figures. This CD will convince even skeptics of his brilliance. Without Chuck Berry, there would be no Beatles, Rolling Stones or Kinks, or at least in the forms they eventually took.

This CD contains all of Berry's original early recordings, pristine and beautifully remastered. Who can deny that his way with words was umatched: "He never, ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play a guitar just like a-ringing a bell..." It's a tragedy that most people have grown up listening to inferior musicians do paltry cover versions of the songs Berry wrote and performed better than anyone else.

This set is an absolutely essential component of any collection, of any genre. Chuck Berry was a pioneer with words and music and his influence is sorely underestimated today. Had Chuck Berry been born white, he would be regarded as a rock God instead of being neglected and virtually forgotten in many circles. These 28 magnificent songs just about cover his catalogue of hits. This is a great sampling, but incomplete, so if you want to experience Berry's real genius, branch off into his lesser known songs. But for the money, this one rocks!

CHuck Berry with His Signature Style of Guitar Playing&Duck Walk is One Of The FOunding Ground-Breaking Musicians of Rock-N-Roll.His Music Here Represents His GreatNess&Importance to the World of Music.Maybellene,Johnny B.Goode,Roll Over Beethoven etc.. are timeless Classics.

This CD contains every popular Chuck Berry side released from 1955 to mid-1958. This is great early rock and roll. The liner notes contain some useful bibliographic information but omit any discography unfortunately.

This CD is well titled and it does indeed contain some of his best. The only gripe I would have is I never quite considered "Downbound Train" and "Havana Moon" as favorites and I can think of a few songs I would rather have on this CD than these two. However, I have noticed that they keep showing up on Berry's CD's so I guess I'm not in the majority.

It's a great set, and if you add Volume II you have a super twosome of Chuck Berry Music. There are a number of really good instrumentals and vocals that were on his albums that aren't on "His Best" I & II, but it still rates five stars.

Chuck Berry can't be beat at what he does best - playing Chuck Berry Style music.

I own one Chuck Berry album and this is it. It is simply a great collection of the early rock that I grew up with. I like classical and jazz but Chuck Berry is in a class of his own.
