Back in the U.S.A./ Memphis, Tennessee

Two classic Chuck Berry tunes on one little 45. Good deal indeed! Listening to "Memphis" again just now, I'm struck again by what a great lyricist Berry was. Lines like
With hurry-home drops on her cheeks
is amazingly evocative of what the singer experienced. Note: There's a very small date written in the right-hand side of the "H" in "Chess" on the A label, but it's too faint to show up in the scan. The B side audio is a strong EX.
