Released in 1957, After School Session was Chuck Berry's debut album and one of the earliest Rock 'n' Roll LPs issued by Chess Records. Bringing together his groundbreaking early singles and B-sides, it captures the excitement of an artist whose songwriting, guitar playing and infectious rhythms were redefining popular music.
The album features an outstanding collection of Berry classics, including School Day, Too Much Monkey Business, Brown Eyed Handsome Man and No Money Down, alongside superb Blues numbers and instrumentals that demonstrate the breadth of his musical talent. Every track carries the wit, energy and unmistakable guitar style that made Chuck Berry one of Rock 'n' Roll's true originals.
After School Session is far more than a collection of early recordings. It introduced the world to a songwriter whose stories, melodies and driving rhythms helped shape the future of Rock 'n' Roll. More than sixty years on, it remains an essential album and one of the cornerstones of any serious Rock 'n' Roll vinyl collection.
