1966 TOP COPY - ORIGINAL!
BO DIDDLEY
THE ORIGINATOR
\ USA - CHESS RECORDS - LP 3001 (stereo)
TOP COPY - FINAL COLLECTION COPY
Original 1966 first pressing by legendary guitar rocker who influenced countless garage bands in the sixties ... here a final collection copy...
Despite its mid-1960s release date, The Originator features tracks recorded earlier in the '60s as well as during the 1950s. Despite the lack of album data, this album that compiles scarce Bo Diddley material from the Chess vaults, proves itself to be a fantastic listening experience.
Although this is unmistakably a Bo Diddley record, on some tracks you can hear him incorporating elements of early Motown and even exotica into his mix. "Pills" and "Puttentang," from 1961 and 1959 respectively, are probably the best known cuts from this LP, having made appearances on compilations. "Jo Ann" is a solid rocker featuring call-and-response vocals that list the names of all the different dances this girl can do. "Two Flies" and "Background to a Music" are two humorous spoken-word pieces cut from the same cloth as "Say Man" and "Cops and Robbers" which also feature some exquisite guitar work like only Bo could do. "Yakky Doodle" is yet another rhythmic variation on the shave-and-a-haircut-two-bits theme that still somehow manages to sound fresh in the hands of "the Originator." "What Do You Know About Love" is a ballad that could have used the vocal accompaniment of The Moonglows or a similar group. "Back to School," a positive-message rocker, urges its listeners to stay in the classroom and to make their parents proud. "You Ain't Bad" is a distinctly Diddleyian put-down song, while "Love You Baby" comes off lyrically as a number Chuck Berry could have written. "Limbo," with its wicked rhythm guitar, sounds like a musical cousin of "Cadillac" from the Gunslinger LP. For lack of a better description, "Africa Speaks" is Bo Diddley meets Martin Denny, an ahead-of-its-time piece complete with tribal chanting and jungle rhythms. Long before Sly Stone thanked Africa for talking to him, Bo was already giving the continent a voice. In short, if you like Bo Diddley, this is essential.
