 notes:

Few artists shaped the sound of rock & roll as profoundly as Chuck Berry. 
Released by Chess Records as catalog number 1671, the single 
"Rock & Roll Music" backed with "Blue Feeling" remains 
one of the defining records of the 1950s.
"Rock & Roll Music" is one of Berry's signature recordings, celebrating the 
excitement and universal appeal of the new musical style that would 
soon transform popular music around the world. Driven by Berry's
 unmistakable guitar riffs, energetic vocals, and infectious rhythm, 
the song became an enduring rock & roll anthem.
The B-side, "Blue Feeling," reveals another side of Berry's songwriting.
 Influenced by blues traditions, it delivers a slower, more emotional 
performance while showcasing the musical roots that inspired 
many of his greatest recordings.
Released on the legendary Chess label, this 45 rpm single is highly sought
 after by collectors of classic rock & roll and vintage vinyl. Original 
pressings remain important pieces of music history and continue 
to attract fans and collectors worldwide.
Whether you're a longtime collector or discovering Chuck Berry for the
 first time, Chess 1671 represents an essential chapter
 in the evolution of American popular music.
