My favorite record of all time is "Still A Fool" by Muddy Waters from
1951.
My favorite Chuck Berry record is "Carol," followed closely by "Roll
Over Beethoven."  My favorite Howlin' Wolf record is "Smokestack
Lightning."
Other Chess faves include "Mardi Gras Mambo" by the Hawketts, "Nadine"
by the Coronets, "Most Of All" by the Moonglows, "That's All Right" by
Jimmy Rogers, "Poison Ivy" by Willie Mabon, "Trouble No More" by Muddy,
"I'm A Little Mixed Up" by Betty James, and "Teardrops" by Questlove's
father and the Hearts.
When we get to the cusp year of 1963 there's "Mama Didn't Lie" by Jan
Bradley

Record collector Roger will tell you that "Mama Didn't Lie" doesn't
count because Chess is not the original label for the release.

Okay, I didn't know that.  Draw a line through that statement.

Not so. If a "bought in" record rates high enough on my faves list it
will appear.

To use Diane's example that Betty James record is a HUGE fave of mine
and nearly made the list I posted. A list of Checker faves will almost
certainly include The Students "I'm So Young" with mention being made
that it originated from the Note label in Indianapolis

What about the Capris on Old Town, would that be listed?

If and when there is an Old Town listing of course. It's a bona fide
release on OLd Town but like any other item obtained from another
company it will be listed with those details
