 With nods to molemilton and Jock_Girl, added my pair of "faded" labels (with only pressing difference and upgrade of image). Looks like the original color, though, hmm... I have found this tone difference in both Chess 1604 and 1605, so could it be that at that point somebody added the wrong color to the printing machines? Just guessing...

 Just watching BBC4 'The Kings Of Rock ' n ' Roll' , and its got to Chuck Berry , looking up what we have so far ( limited ) the early Chess Records 78s are on the label , in the notes here , as Chuck Berry and His Combo. Seeing as I understand Chuck (alone ?) went into Chess , saying Muddy Waters sent him , the Combo I guessed was in this instance the house band. I understand Leonard Chess added Bass Player and Maracas ( Wikipedia ), the Wikipedia page also mentions these were added to 'the Trio' , which looking up Johnnie (Clyde) Johnson was Johnnie Johnson on Piano and and Ebby Hardy on Drums, the three performed as The Sir John Trio in live clubs. Berry having replaced saxophonist Alvin Bennett (Due to Bennett's Stroke) on New Year's Eve , 1952

Johnnie Johnson's recollections of the naming of "Maybellene" and those of Marshall Chess reported in the above program differ slightly.

Wee Wee Hours was an instrumental that Johnson had been playing for some years , Berry added lyrics to it for the recording session.

 First pressings had just Chuck Berry as songwriter but Alan Freed and Russ Fratto were soon added by the Chess Brothers for business reasons (see here. Chuck learned very quickly and controlled his publishing after that.
