Chuck Berry St. Louis to Liverpool

Chuck Berry's 1964 Album St. Louis to Liverpool on LP.

The seventh studio album by rock & roll pioneer Chuck Berry, St. Louis to Liverpool was released by Chess Records in 1964 and became the first of his studio albums to chart on the US Billboard LP list, peaking at #124. Aimed at capitalizing on Berry’s growing influence among British Invasion groups, the album includes four of his five charting singles from that year: “No Particular Place to Go,” “You Never Can Tell,” “Promised Land,” and “Little Marie.”

The Beatles, Beach Boys, and Rolling Stones had all previously covered Berry's songs, and this album reaffirms why - every track is a slice of driving rock & roll. “You Never Can Tell” found renewed fame in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction, while the rest of the album shows Berry’s songwriting and guitar work at peak form.
