One Dozen Berrys is the second studio album by Chuck Berry, released in March 1958 on Chess Records.[2] With the exception of five new songs, "Rockin' at the Philharmonic", "Guitar Boogie", "In-Go", "How You've Changed", and "It Don't Take but a Few Minutes", and one alternate take, "Low Feeling", all tracks had been previously released on 45 rpm singles. It was also released in the United Kingdom. In 2012, Hoodoo reissued the album with Berry Is on Top on the same CD. Sheldon Recording Studio, where all of the recordings were made, was located at 2120 South Michigan Ave. in Chicago and eventually became Chess Studios.[5]
