Chuck Berry has released a 16-CD, 21-hour box set called Chuck Berry: The Complete Studio Recordings . . . Plus!, compiling everything he recorded.
In addition to studio recordings the set also has five discs of live material, a 250-page book with a foreword by Paul McCartney, and artwork from nearly every 45 Berry released around the world.
In addition to the 250-page book, the set also features a 108-page photo essay made up of many previously unseen images that were found by British photography Bill Greensmith in the possession of Berry's uncle, Harry Davis.
"Universal [Records] did three Chuck Berry sets recently, but ours is 10 times better," said Richard Weize whose label Bear Family released the set.
The set is available now.
