...rock and roll, this track alone justifies the rather extravagant price which decorates the album jacket. Opening with the terrific backbeat and acid guitar which became the signature of the band. "Johnny B. Goode" leaps up an emotional notch when that manic wail of a lead vocalist begins to shrick...

As the echoes died away in the furthermost corners of the old building...

Others like the villain Johnson, played by Richard Wiechmann, mother-in-law Charlotte Armstrong or demure Claire Johnston have little chance at anything but a blush or a shrick. But they and the whole cast, in fact, can do this...
