 This is said to be the first recording with Chuck Berry involved.

See http://www.crlf.de/ChuckBerry/upto1954.html
... While playing in St. Louis, Chuck added an n to his name so his band would appear as The Chuck Berryn Combo in advertisements and contracts.

Some time in the late Eighties someone discovered old session protocols of Oscar Washington's Ballad label. In these protocols he found the name of Chuck Berryn playing guitar on two songs published under the name of Joe Alexander and the Cubans.

Up to now Chuck Berry has not acknowledged that his first recordings were not Maybellene and Wee Wee Hours. However, record shops and many collectors today see Oh Maria b/w I Hope These Words Will Find You Well (Ballad AA 1008-X45) recorded August 13th, 1954 and published shortly thereafter as the very first Chuck Berry record. The record itself is a huge rarity and easily sells for US $1000. ...


Anyway, a 78 rpm issue of this single is offered in an eBay auction for US $24.95 (first bid) today.

Edit: winning bid was US $44.85 on Feb 08, 2014 (4 bids).
