Original first 1967 pressing TOP COPY of one of the hardest to find Bo Diddley Lp's and HERE a final collection copy....

The mighty Bo Diddley was also known as The Originator because of his key role in the transition from the blues to rock, influencing a host of acts, including Buddy Holy, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, The Who, The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, among others. He introduced more insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged electric guitar sound on a wide-ranging catalog of songs, along with African rhythms and a signature beat (a simple five- accent clave rhythm) that remains a cornerstone of rock. To clear up any confusion, it is important to establish that Freddie and Bo Diddley issued distinctly different tunes under the title "Roadrunner." Diddley's version initially surfaced during his seminal and prolific stint at the Chess Records rock & roll offshoot Checker. Instead of Diddley's signature syncopated beat, "Roadrunner" has a straightforward four-on-the-floor cadence, which is appropriate as Diddley is referring to his skills behind the wheel of an automobile, rather than the infamous Warner Bros. character. This is especially confusing, as one of the prominent traits in the chorus is the familiar staccato "beep beep!" -- the only dialogue ever uttered between the Road Runner and his eternal pursuer, Wile E. Coyote. Joining Diddley are blues legend Otis Spann (piano), Peggy Jones (guitar, backing vocals), and Clifton James (drums), as well as Diddley's omnipresent sidekick -- and the namesake of "Bring It to Jerome" -- Jerome Green (maracas, backing vocals). Spann is particularly jaunty as he lays down limber fills supporting Diddley's perpetually propulsive lead guitar lines. Occasionally, Diddley scrapes the strings, creating an ethereal stretching sound to punctuate his swaggering vocals
