Chuck Berrys work with Chess Records has been documented best by a 9-CD Set The Chess Years (Charly CD RED BOX 2, 1991). This set contains a total of 220 songs, which is almost everything Chuck ever recorded for Chess. The songs are sorted by recording date. Because Charly has been found to not have the rights to publish these, the box was only sold for a short time and in limited quantity

Fulfilling Phil Chess’s prophecy, Chuck Berry returned to Chess Records in 1969 after a three year stay with Mercury Records. And it was like he never left, as his very first session produced a great two-sided single, “Tulane” b/w “Have Mercy Judge.” The record didn’t chart, but it was obvious that Chuck was truly “back home” (as his first album back on Chess was called) and already producing high quality “Chess” recordings once again.

When Ray Charles signed his precedent-shattering contract with ABC-Paramount in 1959, he was determined to make good on an early ambition to be the most versatile recording artist the music business had ever known. Charles got to work at his new label right away, producing hits like "Georgia On My Mind" and "Hit the Road Jack" along with the classic duet album with Betty Carter in 1961. But it wasnt till 1962s MODERN SOUNDS IN COUNTRY AND WESTERN MUSIC VOLS. 1 & 2 that Charles surpassed industry expectations.

An amazing package of work from George Duke - 6 of his legendary fusion albums for MPS Records, including the never-reissued double-length set Solus / The Inner Source! That incredible album is worth the price of the package alone - as it begins with some sublime trio work from Duke, rooted in jazz but already stretching out in amazing ways - then moves into some even hipper Latin-styled grooves, with Jerome Richardson on reeds and Luis Gasca on a bit of trumpet! Other albums in the set are equally great - and trace Dukes evolution from straighter jazz into funky freer fusion and soul - an incredible musical shift thats presented on the albums Faces In Reflection, Feel, I Love The Blues She Heard My Cry, The Aura Will Prevail, and Liberated Fantasies - each of them classics in their own right, presented together wonderfully here in this complete MPS package! The set is amazing - with a whopping 64 titles in all, and complete notes on all the music - including some recollections from Duke himself.
