    I like this dodgy compilation.

    I've seen The Story of Bo Diddley. It's worst feature is that it doesn't include Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut

    They insist on leaving that off many of his compilation albums including the Chess Box. It was covered by the Pretty Things and played live by Quicksilver Messenger Service among others.

    You pretty much have to create your own 2 cdr set to include all of the tracks that you like.

    There's a song about him having to travel to all these godforsaken countries to get back to his baby.

    If only because of my familiarity with it via The Chess Box, I picked “Greatest Lover in the World.”

    Thanks for voting. I posted the videos of the choices so that those who were unfamiliar could listen to them before voting.

    I voted for Craw-Dad - but it's pretty much the same song as most of his early ones LOL - you got your basic Bo beat and some maracas. As Seinfeld says "not that there's anything wrong with that!"

    I kind of always liked this track from "Spotlight" There's a little slower version on the Hip-O boxed set too...

    I was reading something about Bo Diddley the other day when working on this thread and it said the best track omitted from most Bo Diddley compilations is Here 'Tis. It was covered by both the Yardbirds and the High Numbers (later the Who).

    An accurate and correct vote from me in either of these polls would require more time, careful research and consideration than I've put into many a local, state or national election... Yesterday I ordered two more Bo Diddley CDs.

    I also taped portions of a 1970 Steve Miller Band show at the Fillmore West, that Bo opened, with Lady Bo, who just happened to be in the audience... I need to digitize it. Steve Miller was really disappointing, as he was learning to play his echoplex guitar, and supported by only two other band members.

    Might now have an unedited wav file. About 30 minutes of Bo, as it appears I taped over about 30 minutes of his set and ran out of tape prior to its' end.

    Laservampire Down with this sort of thing

    This set sounds much better when you fix the 2 sample offset between the channels on both discs.
