Audio Remasterer: Erick Labson. There have been many, many Chuck Berry compilations released by Chess over the years, but as of the spring of 2006, there was no comprehensive single-disc set in print; there was the double-disc 2005 set Gold, which itself was a retitled reissue of 2000's Anthology, but the classic comp The Great Twenty-Eight was long out of print, and nothing had replaced it until the 2006 release of The Definitive Collection. This generous 30-track selection offers nearly everything that was on The Great Twenty-Eight and in nearly the same sequence -- \"Brown Eyed Handsome Man\" and \"Roll Over Beethoven\" are swapped, for instance, but it's not really a noticeable change. \"Bye Bye Johnny\" is the only song missing from The Great Twenty-Eight, which is not a huge omission, especially since it's been replaced with two great singles, \"You Never Can Tell\" and \"Promised Land.\" \"My Ding-A-Ling\" is also here and, while it is a worse song than \"Bye Bye Johnny,\" it was Chuck's only number one single, so its inclusion makes sense -- and it hardly sinks a collection that is by far the best, most comprehensive single-disc Chuck Berry set yet assembled. Sure, there are some great Berry songs that are absent, but all the major songs are here; plus, if you need more than 30 songs, turn to either Gold or The Chess Box. If you want a single-disc best-of collection of all of Chuck's finest, this is the one to get. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classic R\u0026B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47652559683802,"sku":"602498808801","price":12.61,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/DEFINITIVECOLLECTIO_rmafgc.jpg?v=1772872496","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/chuck-berry-the-definitive-collection-remastered-cd","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
