Description

BO-DIDDLEY - BEACH PARTY Vinyl lp in excellent condition. Released on CHECKER RECORDS (CHECKER 2988). Reviewby Bruce Eder & Cub KodaA blistering live album, especially in genuine mono (the re-channeled stereo is barely passable) -- and quite simply the finest live rock & roll album of its era, cut live by Diddley and band at Myrtle Beach, SC, on July 5 and 6, 1963. From the opening track (erroneously listed as "Memphis" and credited to Chuck Berry as composer) to the final note, this is some of the loudest, raunchiest guitar-based rock & roll ever preserved. It also bears an uncanny resemblance to the sound that the Rolling Stones achieved on their own Got Live If You Want It, which only shows how much the Stones learned from Diddley. Highlights include "Gunslinger," "Hey Bo Diddley," "Road Runner," and "I'm All Right." The sound doesn't necessarily translate ideally to compact disc, but that shouldn't dissuade anyone. Currently out of print but well worth the search. (allmusic.com) I've been collecting and selling records for many years now, please take a look at my feedback. Please let me know if you would like insurance. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. Please have a look at my other auctions. I am thinning out my record collection, and I'm getting rid of a lot of rare stuff (to make room for new records...sigh). Thanks, and good luck.
