Chess Records Let's Play Chess: A Chess Records Anthology - Black Vinyl - Sealed UK 2-LP vinyl set

CHESS RECORDS Let's Play Chess: A Chess Records Anthology (2025 UK/EU limited edition 25-track double album 2-LP pressed on classic black vinyl. Curated by Grammy-winning producer, drummer and long-time Chess historian Steve Jordan, Let's Play Chess distils the label's deep and era-defining catalogue into a sharp, 25-track overview of blues, early rock and roll, R&B, soul and jazz. As a portrait of American music in transition, it captures the electricity of Chicago'spost-war blues scene, the crossover brilliance of Chuck Berry, the emotive range of Etta James, and the rhythmic innovations that shaped everything from British blues-rock to modern soul. This special edition spans foundational recordings from Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson through to the soulful sweep of The Dells and the jazz phrasing of Gene Ammons. It's a vivid, carefully assembled anthology that speaks both to Chess's legacy and to the breadth of its influence-still resonant more than 75 years on. Gatefold picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed. Recommended)
