RARE CHUCK BERRY"New Juke Box Hits" Chess#1465('61)HEAR

Many people don't know how many-sided Chuck really is, and this album is a good change to get familiar with his ballad side. There is some latin-feelings (13 question Method), gentle blues (Sweet 16, a song by B.B. King, not Chuck's original Sweet Little 16, as mentioned in the song list!!), jazzy pop-ballads(The Way It Was Before) and, of course, 3 or 4 rockers and everything from between... Some may say that girl-choruses in some songs could've been left out, it's maybe true, but it's a fact that this is the most focused, arranged and produced Chuck Berry record ever, and that makes it interesting. Soon after this record Chuck was thrown in jail for 1 and 1/2 years and after that his concentration was never the same what comes to recording sessions... ..or maybe his last studio-record, the great 1979 "Rock It", comes pretty close, who knows...

Highlight of this record is still a soft rocker "Route 66", I think it's one of Chuck's best ever.

To everyone interested in different dephts and shades of C.B. this is a good buy!

INTERESTING: "New Juke-Box Hits is a Chuck Berry album which was released in 1961 under Chess Records. This was Chuck Berry's fifth album under record label Chess Records. The album was recorded and later released while Chuck Berry was in the middle of certain legal difficulties that would see him put in jail the following year in 1962. This was not good for Chuck Berry's publicity and hence it affected his record sales, and there were no hits on the album. The one single on the album was "I'm Talking About You" which was later successfully covered by the Rolling Stones."

INSURANCE TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST!

* We offer a money back + shipping costs guarantee on our records (unless otherwise noted) if you feel the LP was not graded properly. We will issue a full refund upon its return, once our mistake has been verified.

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

RECORD OR COVER GRADED VG or LESS WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

MINT: Unplayed, still sealed.
 

NM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects, they might have one or 2 minor superficial scuff and they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS:

have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.

Picture Sleeves: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve. 

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: 
Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, flaws noted.

VG++ COVERS:
Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.  

VG+ RECORDS:

may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ COVERS:
should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES:
might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location. 

VG RECORDS:

They have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:
will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

Items are to be paid within 7 days (if not paid by that time it will be subject for relisting) of auction close and will be shipped within 48 hours of receipt of payment. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.
