''St. Louis to Liverpool'' is a Chuck Berry album, released in 1964 on Chess Records.
Chuck Berry spent much of 1962 and all of 1963 in jail after being convicted on a Mann Act charge. When he emerged in January of 1964, the popular music landscape had been forever changed by the British Invasion. Fortunately artists like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones recorded his songs. The Rolling Stones included "Carol" on their 1964 debut, and the Beatles included a cover of "Rock and Roll Music" the same year on Beatles for Sale.
This inspired Berry to go into the studio to cut one of the strongest albums of his career. In addition to the hits "No Particular Place to Go" (No. 10), "You Never Can Tell" (No. 14), and "Promised Land" (No. 41), it also includes "Little Marie" (a sequel to "Memphis" that went to No. 54).
In 2008, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab rereleased ''St. Louis to Liverpool'' along with the compilation ''Chuck Berry Is on Top'' on their Ultradisc II Gold CD.
All tracks appear to be original stereo, except for 2, 10-12, and 14. - Wikipedia
