Legendary guitarist, gifted songwriter, master of rhythm, and snappy dresser, Bo
Diddley (aka “The Originator”) was all of these things and more. His
syncopated “hambone” beat –bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp- has
become a cornerstone of rock & roll music. Diddley surprised the music world in
the mid-1950s when he unleashed a new guitar sound dominated by heavy rhythmic
drive and distortion, which was quickly absorbed by other players.

This remastered and quintessential 2CD edition includes all the smash hits this
singular pioneer recorded for Chess’ subsidiary, Checker Records, between
1955 and 1962. It contains the most iconic songs of Diddley’s career.
Between hypnotic and rhythmic guitar lines and swaggering vocals, these songs
serve up a young Bo Diddley at his raw and primal best. They give ample proof
that even at the onset of his career Diddley didn’t sound like anyone
else in rock & roll.
