About

Chuck Berry in London was released in April 1965 on Chess Records, catalogue LP 1495. Capitalizing on the singer's recent UK tour, the album was recorded primarily in London with the British R&B group The 5 Dimensions. The tracklist featured mostly new material, though Chess still filled out the record with a few leftovers, including five tracks recorded in Chicago and the instrumental "Night Beat," which dates back to a 1957 session. The release and the aforementioned tour coincided with some European hype surrounding Berry's music, driven by British Invasion bands, whose popular covers had built up interest in his catalog.
