• LIMITED EDITION CLASSIC LPS • HIGH-DEFINITION PREMIUM 180 GRAM VINYL • INCLUDES 4 BONUS TRACKS

This essential collector’s edition includes the largely forgotten yet outstanding LP "New Juke Box Hits", which was originally released by Chess Records in March N1961. Although the album was recorded in the midst of the legal difficulties that wouldN put him in jail the following year, that distraction did not prevent Berry from composing Ntop-flight material.
