A fine compilation January 18, 2004
Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
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.
