Chuck Berry - After School Session

Chuck Berry — After School Session (Mono)

Chess Records 75 Series from Chess Records and Acoustic Sounds!

Mastered from digital sources by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab

180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings

Rediscover the blueprint of rock 'n' roll!

Originally released in May 1957 as only the second full-length album ever pressed by the legendary Chess Records, Chuck Berry's debut masterpiece, After School Session, is an absolute cornerstone of modern music. This quintessential collector's reissue brings a foundational piece of music history back to life in pristine, brilliantly remastered audio.

After School Session was a brilliant tightrope walk. While the title innocently winked at the booming teenage demographic of the 1950s, the music inside hid a more mature, daring edge. Featuring high-energy, teen-oriented rock 'n' roll cuts that made Berry a household name and defined a generation, these are the hits that paid the production bills. 

Beyond the famous singles, tracks such as "Drifting Heart," "Together We Will Always Be," and the hypnotic "Havana Moon" showcase Berry's deep blues roots and his fearless willingness to push musical boundaries.

Put simply, without these exact recordings, we wouldn't have The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or The Kinks as we know them.
