The Latest & The Greatest is a collection of new material from rock & roll legend Chuck Berry. Contains the hit single No Particular Place To Go which reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 10 in the US. (UK:8)

"Chuck Berry has to be my all time favourite artist, and these recordings are some of his best. This album is the genuine article and is guaranteed to bring a big rockin' smile to your face. Chuck Berry, the singer, the guitarist, the songwriter, the entertainer, you will find it all on here, trust me."

"Feeling low? A shot of Nadine and I'm up for anything."

"This was the kind of music that made us white boys think we could dance. A lot of his rock and roll might all be same sounding but the lyrics are always brilliant."

"Chuck Berry is the inventor of rock and roll, and the only one that influenced the so called rock and rollers such as Elvis."

"These kind of songs are the ones we shall never forget. This is pure history."

"It is only a slight over implication to state that most rock since Berry has been a variant of his original adaptation of rhythm and blues. And lyrically Berry was the most gifted lyricist before the advent of Bob Dylan. Of all the rock and roll performers, Berry was the easiest to understand when he sang, pronouncing precisely every word and for a very good reason: they were good words." "How can a guy come up with those riffs? Those simple, yet poetic lyrics."

"Berry is one of the creators of rock and roll, and listening to this stuff 40 years later, it's still rocks, and rocks really hard. The music here sounds more vital, fresh, and edgy than most rock and roll acts do today."
