PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

TOP COPY!
ULTRA HIGH FIDELITY = 1959 ROCKED-OUT FIRST PRESSING!!
BO DIDDLEY
HAVE GUITAR, WILL TRAVEL
USA - (black & silver) CHECKER - ("unbreakable, ultra high fidelity" )
BOLD MONO===> One of the nicest copies we've ever seen!!
Bo Diddley knows Rock n' Roll. This album is just plain filthy! Every song rocks! Check out "Mumblin' Guitar". "Say Man, Back Again" is hilarious: "I went out with your girl, and she was so skinny, we had to tie knots in her legs to give her knees". Also, "I Need You Baby" is probably where the Rolling Stones got "Not Fade Away" from.
One of the most eccentric and idiosyncratic performers in rock history, Bo Diddley has never been backwards in emphasizing his importance and influence over rock & roll, but one spin of this monster and its clear that these are anything but idle boasts!
Two tracks here almost steal the show. 'Mumblin' Guitar' is a masterclass of raw, percussive guitar battering, making Link Wray look as sedate and refined as Segovia by comparison, and 'Spanish Guitar' is one of the finest slices of pre-surf I've ever heard. But its when Bo lets loose with his raw, sloppy, soul-filled vocals that you know he's the real deal.
Messy rhythm & blues, raw rock & roll, noisy garage rock, funky jive talk, throat shredding vocals ... this album ticks all of the above boxes and more!! And on top of that, it surely boasts one of the coolest album covers of all time.
Unless Noted:
There are NO split seams, NO bends, NO writing and NO issues (unless noted below)
CONDITION: The cover: Thick cover from 53 years ago is "EX" (excellent) ... no problems, still has the original store price sticker at top right ... one of the nicest copies we've ever had ... look at the vinyl below!
The vinyl: the thick "unbreakable" MONO platter is near M- looks real clear everywhere ... you can't find a better copy! Clean Checker labels too....
keeper!
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
