The London Chuck Berry Sessions in Bloomington, MN

One-half of this album is a studio recording featuring
Ian McLagan
and
Kenny Jones
of
the Faces
. The other half is a live recording from the
Lancaster Arts Festival
in Coventry, England, featuring performances of
"My Ding-a-Ling"
"Reelin' and Rockin'"
that, in edited form, became the first hit singles for
Chuck Berry
in many years. (
went gold and hit #1.) This gold-selling, Top Ten album represents
Berry
