CD Reviews

A fine compilation

Docendo Discimus | Vita scholae | 01/18/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Spectrum's "The Essential Bo Diddley" is really the only single-disc compilation which can compete with MCA/Chess' "His Best".
It includes virtually all of the must-have classics (with the exception of "Crackin' Up", unfortunately), but the Chess disc has better liner notes, and some of the new Chess masters have a few extra seconds (or more) appended to the fades, which gives it a slight edge over this otherwise excellent collection.
4 1/2 stars."
