You're out of luck unless you want to pay a huge sum for one especially in the time following his passing. It's been out of print for years.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

Perhaps they wanted to keep things more focused on Chuck Berry as opposed to all the cameras being on them, but they sure don't show up to too many of these things. It would have been nice if at least one of them showed up.

The Beatles and Stones eclipsed everyone before them. You really can't have members from either band show up to pay respects because the entire room shifts to them. Let's not even get on the topic of how you'd handle security. Can't have those guys with the common folk.

Chuck had a studio fire in the late 80's and everything was destroyed. This album has many tracks that he had worked on back then, just newly recorded.


Chuck's son talks about this very thing in the latest interview:

I've never been of much use when it came to bootlegs & rare stuff as I don't have much
(think the rarest things in my collection are "rarities" & "goddess in the doorway"),
but today is the day I'm giving back to the community!

I've bought the out of print "hail hail " dvd (4 dvd box set) and I'm ready to share it.

If anyone wants a copy give me a PM shout & I'll give you a link to download.

(only for board members who subscribed prior today)

I feel like this is the end of an era. Chuck was an original, and an Icon and I feel the loss of his life sadly.

This was a Movie I won tickets to, I was so stoked when I Won!I was the __caller! It was a great evening at the Naro!
Those were the days! 2 tickets to the show and a poster! Still have somewhere! I took my now wife girlfriend who at the time had now idea who Chuck was! She could not believe his/the songs he did/wrote! And not to mention the stars that were stars because of Chuck Berry! Once again thank you Keith for the movie and being smart enough then to do it before it was too late! Without Chuck Rock N Roll did not existed sorry Jerry Lee, Richard, Fats, Elvis, Buddy, and Bill! YOU guys of course helped but Chuck wrote and played everything! My Favorite go to song Johnny B. Goode! and of the words and the stories he told!
SCHOOL DAYS HAIL HAIL ROCK AND ROLL!

Chuck was an original and no doubt without him Rock may never have rolled. But let's also remember that Johnny Johnson really "co-wrote" many of the hits without receiving his credit. Keith attempts to make that right in Hail Hail.....
