Hi Ed

Nope. Not the Chuck Berry group.

That was The Ecuadors, and it certainly wasn't on RCA, and it's a much earlier vintage than this record. It was before Chuck recorded for Chess, so early 50s.

Cheers,

Marc (Canada)

In fact the Ecuadors record was released as late as November 1959, on Argo, a subsidiary label of Chess. This RCA EP (which I agree is not the same group) is from 1958.

Before Chess, Chuck played guitar on another record by Joe Alexander & The Cubans, and it's that record you were probably thinking of.
