Description

BO DIDDLEY:
Chess  LP-1431  ( M)   Bo Diddley  1959 

Cover: EX- to EX ... cover front is close to being visually flawless except for tiny number 19 taped up in the upper left corner. The back has some shelf wear. It is not exactly like the common ringwear because it is non-existant on the front cover. The majority of  the visual flaws are age spotting and are in isolated areas.

Vinyl: VG++/VG++ .. slight playback noise  ... still has unbelievable sheen. This record came to me from a good friend that found it in an estate sale in South Texas. I was shocked at how well preserved the vinyl is. Unfortunately there are many here that would grade this one as NM- ... but it isn't quite there although it has not been abused by a bad stylus and has minimal paper marks etc. The marks are isolated and not in severe clusters. The record is protected in a V.R.P. plastic sleeve.

  1. "Bo Diddley" – 2:30
  2. "I'm a Man" – 2:41
  3. "Bring It to Jerome" – 2:37
  4. "Before You Accuse Me" – 2:40
  5. "Hey! Bo Diddley" – 2:17
  6. "Dearest Darling" – 2:32
  7. "Hush Your Mouth" – 2:36
  8. "Say Boss Man" – 2:18
  9. "Diddley Daddy" – 2:11
  10. "Diddy Wah Diddy" (Ellas McDaniel / Willie Dixon) – 2:51
  11. "Who Do You Love?" – 2:18
  12. "Pretty Thing" – 2:48

Early life and career

He was born Ellas Bates in McComb, Mississippi and later took the name Ellas B. McDaniel, after his adoptive mother, Gussie McDaniel. He adopted the stage name Bo Diddley, which is probably a southern black slang phrase meaning "nothing at all", as in "he ain't bo diddley". Another source says it was his nickname as a Golden Gloves boxer. The nickname is also linked to the diddley bow, a one-stringed instrument used in the south by mainly black musicians in the fields.

Ellas was given a guitar by his sister as a youth, but also took violin lessons. He was inspired to become a musician by seeing John Lee Hooker.

He recorded for Chicago's Chess Records subsidiary label Checker. Bo Diddley is best known for the "Bo Diddley beat", a rhumba-based beat (see clave) also influenced by what is known as "hambone", a style used by street performers who play out the beat by slapping and patting their arms, legs, chest, and cheeks while chanting rhymes. 

In its simplest form, the Bo Diddley beat can be counted out as a two-bar phrase
One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and The bolded counts are the clave rhythm.
