CBID - Twin albums from France and Taiwan

CBID is never complete as new records and CDs appear and some old rarities are discovered. This section presents interesting additions and corrections to CBID.

Today: The probably ugliest Berry album cover has a more beautiful twin - and we show images of the Taiwanese album twins from pages 475 and 476 including some corrections. Add this to the country-specific discographies published in Volume 1:

FRANCE

CHUCK BERRY VOL. 2 (different cover)

Impact 6886 407 ? 1979

This is really the same album as the one on the bottom of page 309 (even the same cat.no.), but with a different cover, much better that is. I would assume that this was released in 1979. So far I have not seen Vol.1 (Impact 6886 403) of this ’79 release. Images show the first variant (left) and the second (right).

TAIWAN

CHUCK BERRY’S GREATEST HITS (THE BEST OF CHUCK BERRY)

Chong Sheng CSJ-513 ? 1964

No Particular Place To Go / You Never Can Tell / Maybellene / Nadine / Brenda Lee / You Two / Rock And Roll Music / School Day / Sweet Little Sixteen / Brown Eyed Handsome Man / Too Much Monkey Business / Johnny B. Goode

Refering to page 475. The front cover is a copy of the original one with the yellow sticker proclaiming Featuring the original hits 'Memphis', 'Maybellene', 'Johnny B. Goode' - even though 'Memphis' is not actually included.

CHUCK BERRY’S GREATEST HITS (THE BEST OF CHUCK BERRY)

Hae Shan Records HS-295 ? 1970s

No Particular Place To Go / You Never Can Tell / Maybellene / Nadine / Brenda Lee / You Two / Memphis, Tennessee / Sweet Little Sixteen / Roll Over Beethoven / Rock And Roll Music / Johnny B. Goode / Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Refering to page 476. The correct label name is Hae Shan (and not Haishan) and this also came out on coloured vinyl, mine is orange. Cover says Greatest Hits, label says The Best Of.
