The essential debut album from rock and roll pioneer Bo Diddley on 180-gram vinyl LP — part of the prestigious Chess Acoustic Sounds Series (Chess 75). Assembled in 1958 and opening with the incendiary 1955 title track, this 12-track collection is an essential overview of the rock pioneer's earliest singles — foundational recordings that laid the groundwork for an entire genre.

Remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) — the gold standard in audiophile vinyl production. Housed in a tip-on gatefold sleeve printed on high-grade board. Released via Chess / UMG, March 20, 2026.
