Legendary guitarist, gifted songwriter, master of rhythm, and snappy dresser… Bo Diddley (aka “The Originator”) was all of these things and more. His first LPs are among the greatest in the history of rock & roll. This quintessential release includes two of his finest and most celebrated albums from the early Sixties that were long out of print: Bo Diddley & Company, and Bo Diddley’s a Twister, which marked a real hit-making stretch for Checker Records and were recorded during Diddley’s most inspired years. Both albums are musical goldmines, positively gushing with the sweaty, rhythmic, blues-plastered genius of this most singular rocker. They have been remastered and packaged together in our very special collector’s edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.
