Info

Gefunden auf discogs julianem 4. Juli 2009 I invented this compilation. I was working for the ad agency McCann Erickson and we had the Phonogram account. I had had some success advertising The Best of The Stylistics on tv and it went to Number 1. So Phonogram thought maybe we had a new angle and said take a look at our back catalogue. And there they had them all, every single track by Chuck Berry on Chess. I came up with the title Motorvatin' from Maybelline and fought to keep all the best tracks on the album. They wanted My Ding A Ling as it was Berry's only UK No 1 and I resisted strongly. It's not there. We borrowed the car from the Mayor of Ventnor in the isle of Wight and had it trailered up to Battersea for the album shoot and the commercial which featured characters from the songs riding along against a deliberately back projected back ground. The album hit number 5 on the charts. On tour later that year 1975(?) from memory, Berry was playing a gig at Hammersmith and was presented with a gold disc. "What's this for" he said.
