Chuck Berry - Maybellene Original 78 rpm Record

I bought this from a guy in Cleveland, OH. It was hanging on the wall of his Record Shop, and I asked him if it was for sale. I got it for 10 dollars.

Chuck Berry's first recording session at Chess Records, Chicago took place May 21st, 1955. Four songs were recorded which were released on two 45/78 rpm records later that year: Maybellene b/w Wee Wee Hours (Chess 1604, July 1955) and Thirty Days b/w Together We Will Always Be (Chess 1610, September 1955).

Due to the big success of these records (Chess 1604 became No. 1 in Billboard's Rhythm & Blues charts.) Chess organized another recording session in December of the same year which among other songs produced the next single No Money Down b/w Down Bound Train (Chess 1615, December 1955).

@EddieTLawson btw i also like synthesizer music, thatts also an electrikal instrument, but i refer to that as a real instrument, i alos have old trance, house, etc musi records and i do like that also, maybe that has some computer work, but it stil whas craftmenship, on the otherhand if you talk about djs themselves i sure agree thats craftmanschip,

[TimeMachine1984]

@EddieTLawson sincen when?? since always do you call computer worked music craftmanship? intstruments are played for the bands by computers so since then. Also such as that retarded autotune voice etc etc, thats no music thats garbage. That i said that todays music sucks, has nothing to do with intelligents, if im stupid for that comment your about as much stupid for your comment earlier.

Yes i agreet its an opinion but in my opinion it suckes so thats why i made that comment.

@TimeMachine1984

Since when does the fact that it's on a computer have anything to do with it? And "Today's music sucks ass alot" Real intelligent comment there my friend. i'm trying to bat home the principal that music is all opinion and just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad music. it's an opinion.

[TimeMachine1984]

@rangerzep83 your right, if he doesnt get what you mean that old music whas better he must be really living under a rock or something.

[TimeMachine1984]

@EddieTLawson And i cant stand people saying dumb things like you. What how does he means that people dont make such music anymore?? Is that hard because they dont music is going forward?? are you on drugs or something todays music sucks ass alot and alot cant call it music its only computer work music whas good till the beginning of the 1990 after that it got lame and now its the lamest as it can be, my name is also eddy but glad that anyone has got his own opinion, dont agree at all.
