Description

This is a rare 78, recorded in 1959 by Chuck Berry and his band (who included Willie Dixon) in Chicago; sides are Let It Rock and Too Pooped to Pop and I rate it overall as V+. It plays well, but does have a few problems, as shown in the fifth picture, but there is little effect on sound. I believe it not to be made of shellac,  but a hard plastic, something perhaps like metrolite. It has been in my possession for over twenty years and I've never noticed another one for sale.
