The Chess Story is a lavishly produced, limited edition (only 1,000 made) 15 CD box set that ranks easily among the most desirable collections ever manufactured. The Chicago label, established by Polish immigrant brothers Phil and Leonard Chess, brought the blues to many people for the first time. This show covers the year 1956. Alongside the usual suspects familiar and obscure bringing you the blues, there's a surprising amount of doowop, and even a splash of rockabilly.
