This is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, Chuck Berry, singing "You Can't Catch Me" on Chess 1645 from October of 1956 (delta number 12391 in the dead wax). This classic R&B record looks and plays in NM condition and comes in a Chess Records company sleeve. This is the original pressing with the silver chess top labels. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. These custom sleeves are one-off sleeves and are not mass produced. This item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the sleeve. 

Buy any three Chuck Berry 45's & PS's and just pay for two. Contact me and I will adjust the pricing for you.

U.S. postage and handling is $4.75 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 45 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 45 years now and as of February 2024 I am celebrating 25 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
