Chess 75 Series
In 2025, Chess Records commemorates its 75th anniversary with the launch of the Chess 75 Series, a curated collection of audiophile vinyl reissues that pay tribute to the label's profound impact on American music. This series brings back iconic albums from legends like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry, Etta James, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson II.

The records are housed in tip-on gatefold sleeves printed on high-grade board.
