Chuck Berry - Anthology was released in 2000 under Chess Records. The album is intended as an overview of Chuck Berry's song-writing career. It is a two-disc anthology which contains 50 tracks of Chuck Berry's finest songs. It includes hits such as Reelin' and Rockin', Maybellene, No Particular Place To Go, Nadine (Is It You?), You Never Can Tell, Almost Grown, Carol, Johnny B. Goode, Sweet Little Sixteen, Rock and Roll Music, School Days, Roll over Beethoven and also a live single edit of his only number one hit song My Ding-a-Ling, among other classic Chuck Berry songs.
