Rock, Rock, Rock is a soundtrack album for the motion picture of the same name and is now considered Chuck Berry's first album.[1] Only four songs on this album ("Over and Over Again," "I Knew From the Start," "You Can't Catch Me"," and "Would I Be Crying") actually appear in the film. Eight additional songs by Chuck Berry, The Moonglows and The Flamingos make up the balance of the songs. Other artists who appeared in the film were not on the album. Rock, Rock, Rock labeled LP 1425[1] was the very first LP ever released by Chess.

In a later Chess session, the Moonglows sang backing vocals for Chuck Berry on some songs, including "Back in the U.S.A.".[1]

The poster art and album cover shows Chuck Berry playing guitar left-handed; this is obviously a printers' error as Berry was widely known to be a right-handed player (The displayed cover belongs to a different album; it's not the cover of Rock, Rock, Rock - Chess LP 1425. The correct cover is shown here: [1]).
