Chuck Berry's Golden Hits

Chuck Berry's Golden Hits is the tenth studio album by Chuck Berry, released in 1967 by Mercury Records, his first for that label. It consists of new recordings of songs he had recorded for Chess Records and one new song, "Club Nitty Gritty". The re-recordings were performed with faster tempos and recorded in stereo. While the rest of Berry's albums for Mercury rest in obscurity, Golden Hits is still available. In 1989 the CD issue of the collection was augmented with several tracks that were left off the original album.
