Artist:    Bo Diddley

This is a great album. 

Info:  This is a Very Rare piece of music history.  This is the one to own as it is one of the first Rock 'n Roll albums.  It is on extremely heavy vinyl at 175 gm which means it is going to play and play.  This one is definitely one that you will want to examine closely.  The cover is NM-, absolutely pristine with no writing or seam splits.  Vinyl shows some surface scratches but plays so nicely, rate it VG+ + Label is NM and a very rare label at that.  This is one album that someone will cherish in their collection, what a Christmas present.

Bo Diddley

Induction Year: 1987

Induction Category: Performer

Bo Diddley (guitar, vocals; born December 30, 1928, died June 2, 2008)

Bo Diddley broke new ground in rock and roll’s formative years with his unique guitar work, indelible African rhythms, inventive songwriting, and larger-than-life persona. He will forever be known for popularizing one of the foundational rhythms of rock and roll: the Bo Diddley beat. He employed it in his namesake song, “Bo Diddley,” as well as other primal rockers like “Mona.” This African-based 4/4 rhythm pattern (which goes bomp-bomp-bomp bomp-bomp) was picked up from Diddley by other artists and has been a distinctive and recurring element in rock and roll through the decades. It can be heard on Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” (later covered by the Rolling Stones), Johnny Otis’s “Willie and the Hand Jive,” the Strangeloves’ “I Want Candy,” the Who’s “Magic Bus” and Bruce Springsteen’s “She’s the One,” to name just several songs.

Diddley is the author of a body of songs - including “Who Do You Love?,” “Road Runner,” “Mona,” “Before You Accuse Me” and “I’m a Man” - that are among the earliest examples of rock and roll rising out of its source material in rhythm and blues. Diddley married two worlds he knew well - the Deep South and the streets of Chicago - in his music. Born Ellas Bates in McComb, Mississippi, Diddley was raised by his mother’s cousin, Gussie McDaniel, whose surname he legally adopted. The family moved to Chicago when Diddley was seven. His earliest exposure to music came via the church. The first instrument he learned to play was the violin, although hearing John Lee Hooker’s 1949 R&B hit, “Boogie Chillen” inspired him to pick up the guitar. Diddley claimed that playing the violin influenced his muted-string, choke-neck style of rhythm guitar – an early forerunner of funk that can be heard on songs like “Pretty Thing.” “It’s mixed up with spiritual, sanctified rhythms,” he’s explained, “and the feeling I have of making people [want to] shout.”

Very Good Plus - VG+ or Excellent- Shows some signs that it was played, and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. May show slight signs of wear, scuffs, or very light scratches that didn't affect the listening. Slight warps that do not affect the sound. Label may have some ring wear, or discoloration. Picture sleeves & LP inner sleeves may have slight ring wear,lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. Jacket may have slight signs of wear, and may have a cut-hole.

Very Good -VG - Same as VG+, and may have surface noise, groove wear will be noticeable, and scratches that affect the sound. Labels may have writing, tape, or stickers.

Good Plus - G+ -Good - G- Will play without skipping and have significant surface noise, visible scratches, and groove wear. Jacket will have seam splits at the bottom, or the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects.
