1961

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU * CHUCK BERRY * PYE INTERNATIONAL 25100 * UK

Chuck Berry's first on the UK Pye International label is possibly his shortest in duration, being only about one and a half minuets long and it can be found in the above turquoise blue label color, or the later more familiar red and yellow design. Although the song, it seems to me by its relative scarcity, didn't sell that well, was, none the less, a staple for many aspiring British Rhythm and Blues groups of the early 1960s and could be heard, almost invariably, at live gigs as part of the, then, quite limited canon of American R&B standards.
