Fred Rothwell's
Long Distance Information: Chuck Berry's Recorded Legacy (Music Mentor Books, 2001) is the ultimate book for any serious Chuck Berry record collector: All Berry sessions, all the songs, all the session musicians, where to find which song if ever released, and tons of additional stuff.
First published in 2001 the book consists mainly of a 240 page commented "sessionography", a list of 93 recording sessions Chuck participated in between 1954 and 2000. For each session Fred lists the musicians and the songs recorded, whether released or not. For every song he shows a few main records containing it. He also fully describes and critizises every recording.
Chuck Berry's recorded legacy is not complete yet, though. After publication of Fred Rothwell's book we found out about an additional recording session, if you want to call it that:
Around October 2001, Dan Aykroyd (a.k.a. Elwood Blues) interviewed Chuck by telephone for his weekly
House of Blues radio show. The interview appeared on two radio station CDs to be broadcast in January and March 2002. See the chapter on
Radio Show and Promotional Records for details.
