The London Chuck Berry Sessions is an album of studio recordings and live recordings by Chuck Berry, released by Chess Records in October 1972 as LP record, 8 track cartridge and audio cassette^[5]. Side one of the album consists of studio recordings, engineered by Geoff Calver; side two features three live performances recorded by the Pye Mobile Unit, engineered by Alan Perkins, on February 3, 1972, at the Lanchester Arts Festival in Coventry, England. At the end of the live section, the recording includes the sounds of festival management trying in vain to get the audience to leave so that the next performers, Pink Floyd, can take the stage; the crowd begins chanting 'We want Chuck!'. His backing band were Onnie McIntyre (guitar), Robbie McIntosh (drums), Nic Potter (bass) and Dave Kaffinetti (piano). Both McIntosh and McIntyre would later form The Average White Band.

'My Ding-a-Ling', from the live side of the album, was edited to approximately 4 minutes for release as a single. It was Berry's first and only single to reach number 1 in both the US and the UK.

Background[edit]

In May 1970, Howlin' Wolf traveled to Olympic Sound Studios in London, England, to record songs for The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions.^[6] The album was released in August 1971^[7] and peaked at number 28 on Billboard magazine's R&B Albums chart and number 79 on the Billboard 200.^[8] Because of Wolf's success, Muddy Waters recorded his own London Sessions album in December 1971, and Berry did the same in 1972.

Critical reception[edit]

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic called the album Chuck Berry's 'commercial, if not artistic, peak'.^[3]Robert Christgau thinks the album is of bad quality, that his voice is croaky and the studio material only fillers.^[4]

Commercial performance[edit]

The album was not even out for a month, when on October 27, 1972, The London Chuck Berry Sessions was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America with sales of 1,000,000 units. It is Berry's only album to be certified by the RIAA.^[9]

Adhering to a daily lesson plan is not possible in the organic teaching process. Teacher by sylvia ashton warner pdf merge. Sylvia's choice of music is classical which the children seem to respond to most enthusiastically. Dancing Most of the expressive dance interpretations come from the children. The joy of teaching is bringing a concept unfettered to the children, not robotically checking off points listed in workbook which only serves as an interfering middleman between student and teacher. She would rather take the risk of drawing a blank than be limited and stifled by what is written on a page.
