Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1962 album from the Rock/Rhythm & Blues/Blues guitarist. Legendary guitarist, gifted songwriter, master of rhythm, and snappy dresser - Bo Diddley was all of these things and more. His first albums are among the greatest in the history of Rock 'n' Roll. This quintessential release includes his long unavailable second eponymous album, Bo Diddley, originally released by Checker Records. It is probably Diddley's most obscure LP, but also one of his finest. This underrated treasure was recorded in Chicago during his most inspired period. This remastered collector's edition also contains 12 bonus tracks, most of them consisting of hard-to-find numbers, B-sides and live cuts from the same period. Between hypnotic and rhythmic guitar lines and swaggering vocals, all these songs serve up a young Bo Diddley at his raw and primal best. Hoo Doo.

Bo's best!
Bo Diddley, Born Ellas McDaniel, was one of the most influential Blues/Rhythm & Blues/Rock 'n' rollers ever.This is without a doubt his best and personal favorite L.P., including three of his coolest instrumentals.A Must for Bo fans.

Bo Diddley - First Time on CD
The first 12 tracks represent one of the better early 60s albums from Bo Diddley. The sub-title of this CD is strange... most of his LPs were underrated. They should've used the original album art and not a photo of the Bo Diddley's a Twister LP. Hoodoo also filled out the CD with '12 bonus tracks' which are redundant if you have the excellent Hip O-Select CDs. I'm giving it 4 stars... only for that original album.

かなり良いです
調べてみると、1962年発売の8枚目のようです。I Can TellやYou Can't Judge A Book By The Coverが入っていますね。素晴らしいアルバムです。

Kraftvoller, experimenteller Jungle-Rock
Bo gilt als einer der Pioniere des Rock. Die CD gibt die Aufnahmen der 1962er LP 1:1 wieder. Auch das Cover entspricht dem Original. Die Tonqualität ist exzellent. Es gibt kaum schwache Stücke auf der CD. Alle Tracks bis auf 'You Cant Judge a Book by the Cover' stammen aus der Feder des Meisters. 'Cover' wurde von Willie Dixon geschrieben. Die Instrumentals zeigen Bo's Experimentierfreude, um die technischen Möglichkeiten der damaligen Zeit auszureizen. Mir gefällt 'I Can Tell' am besten. Kraftvoll gesungen und gespielt. Nachahmer scheiterten alle, die Ausstrahlung des Songs zu replizieren oder gar zu steigern. Kaufen und Verstärker bis zum Anschlag aufdrehen!

Bargain.
I didn't realise this album was underrated since I have been listening to my vinyl copy for the past 55 years and it is still one of the best albums ever recorded. This is a fabulous bargain as it also includes 12 bonus tracks so well worth the money.

Bo !
Bo Diddley -- il a créé son propre son, et toute une tradition, celle du jungle beat. Je l'écoute depuis presque 40 ans sans m'en lasser.Album classique s'il en est.
