Barnes & Noble

This 2004 reissue of Bo Diddley's classic 1960 album captures the essence of the guitar-slinger's distinctive sound, along with digitally remastered tracks, original album art -- one of early rock 'n' roll's most striking covers -- and updated liner notes by Bud Scoppa. The set also features five bonus tracks, three of which were previously unreleased; the latter includes Diddley's version of the standard "Prisoner of Love."

All Music Guide

The most flamboyantly packaged and distinctively themed of Bo Diddley's original albums, this record has always had unusual appeal, freely mixing truly wild R&B originals and distinctive covers (Bo even cops a legitimate arranging credit on "Sixteen Tons"). In this remastered edition, his and Peggy Jones' guitars have a resonant, bell-like clarity on top of their patented crunchiness, and the voices are up-front and in your face (check out the remastered "Do What I Say" for the combined virtues). Additionally, the record has been expanded over the original CD release with eight minutes of outtakes from the same January-February 1960 sessions -- the soulful "Prisoner of Love," showing off Bo's singing on a subtle, sultry level that he wasn't often given a chance to display; the doo wop-influenced "Googlia Moo," which shows how effective Bo's sound works in a slow, loping beat; and "Better Watch Yourself," a Chicago-style blues piece that shows Bo striding across Muddy Waters' territory, not far from (and not much less interesting than) "I'm a Man."
