Description

Bo Diddley’s second album, Go Bo Diddley, is a swaggering showcase of his rhythmic genius and lyrical wit. This Wax Time reissue delivers the original mono mixes on 180g vinyl, with two bonus tracks and restored vintage artwork. Recorded between 1955 and 1958 in Chicago, the album captures Diddley’s signature tremolo guitar, streetwise vocals, and genre-defining “Bo Diddley beat.”

Includes foundational tracks like Crackin’ Up, Say Man, and Bo’s Guitar, plus deep cuts and playful narratives that cement his role as a pioneer of rock & roll.
