GO BO DIDDLEY LP
Go Bo Diddley is the second album by rock and roll pioneer Bo Diddley, released in July 1959.[1] The album was Bo's first studio album and his first LP for Checker Records. The album was ranked #214 on The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.
The b-side to the single "Hush Your Mouth", "Dearest Darling" was released June 1958 and also released on Bo Diddley's self-titled debut album. Bo's next single "Willie and Lillie" was released in November 1958 and then released on this album. Bo's next single "I'm Sorry"/"Oh Yea" was released in February 1959[4] and reached #17 on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B Sides chart.[8] The next single "Crackin' Up" b/w "The Great Grandfather" was released in May.[5] Go Bo Diddley was released two months later in July.[1] In November 1959 Bo released his most popular single "Say Man"/"The Clock Strikes Twelve" which became a crossover hit making #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rest of the songs on the album were album-only tracks, including "You Don't Love Me (You Don't Care)" which Little Walter retitled as "Roller Coaster" and released as a single,[9] and is featured on the Bo Diddley compilation album His Best even though it is an album track not a single.
The original recordings in mono format were recorded with an Ampex-350 tape recorder.[10] The songs "You Don't Love Me (You Don't Care)"[2] and "Little Girl" were from Bo's first session for Chess Records on March 2, 1955.

GRADING: primarily grade my records visually, based on the Goldsmith rating system of Mint, Near Mint, Very Good Plus, Very Good, Good, and Poor. Questionable marks and scratches are usually tested on a turntable and noted in the listing. I try to err on the conservative side in my grading; but since it is not an exact science, there are bound to be differing opinions as to what constitutes a certain grade. Suffice it to say that I strive to be as honest as possible in my listings, as I plan on selling records, etc. for the long haul and I am not interested in ripping anyone off. That being said, I would add that the time for questions is DURING the auction, not after. I will be happy to respond to any email as soon as possible.
SHIPPING: U.S. purchases will be shipped via Media Mail, unless another method is requested by the buyer. Canadian purchases will be using lowest rate, unless a different method is requested. MULTIPLE PURCHASES WILL RECEIVE SHIPPING DISCOUNT! Please make note of normal shipping time frames for delivery, and refrain from contacting seller during this period. RECORDS WILL BE PACKED WITH THE UTMOST CARE, WITH THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THESE RECORDS IN MIND. MEDIA MAIL IS MY NORMAL METHOD OF SHIPMENT, BUT IF YOU PREFER A SAFER, ALBEIT MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION, I CAN ALSO SHIP PRIORITY MAIL. CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYMENT IF YOU WANT AN ALTERNATE METHOD.
International Buyers – Please Note:
· Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
· Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
· These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
· We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
Also, please note that if First Class Mail International is chosen as the shipping method (anything under 4 lps.) there is no way to track these packages, and the responsibility will be on the buyer once the package leaves my possession. (So far, I haven't had any problems with this method). A safer, albeit more expensive alternative, and once which automatically will be used for packages over 4 lbs., is Priority Mail International, which does have a package tracking feature to .
