Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab cut the lacquers in mono from the original analog tapes, an all-analog chain from tape to disc. Quality Record Pressings pressed it on 180-gram black vinyl, and the record ships in a tip-on gatefold jacket printed on high-grade board. The front still carries the original Chess LP 1435 catalog number and \"high-fidelity\" banner, along with the 1959 cover photograph of a strawberry sundae in a diner booth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerry Is on Top was Chuck Berry's third LP, issued by Chess in July 1959 and produced by Leonard and Phil Chess. Every track apart from the steel-guitar instrumental \"Blues for Hawaiians\" had already appeared on a 45, which led AllMusic's Cub Koda to call the album \"almost a mini-greatest-hits package.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide one opens with \"Almost Grown,\" one half of the March 1959 double A-side (Chess 1722) with \"Little Queenie\" that reached No. 3 on the R\u0026amp;B chart. \"Maybellene,\" the 1955 single that started Berry's recording career, follows two tracks later, and the side closes on \"Johnny B. Goode,\" a No. 2 R\u0026amp;B and No. 8 pop hit in 1958 that NASA later placed on the Voyager Golden Record. Its original B-side, \"Around and Around,\" turns up on side two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlmost Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaybellene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Little Rock \u0026amp; Roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthony Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny B.
