RELEASE DATE

Wax Love present a reissue of
Bo Diddley
's full-length self-titled debut album, originally released in 1958. The full-length debut by the man known as the originator of rock and roll should need no introduction. Though never a top-seller on par with his Chess Records rival,
Chuck Berry
, Bo produced a catalog of classics to compete with all but a handful of the best early rockers, pushing rock and roll to its funkiest ever. The Bo Diddley beat -- that "bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp" to which the pop-garage 1965 hit "I Want Candy" by the
Strangeloves
owes everything -- is one of rock and roll's bedrock rhythms, showing up in the work of
Buddy Holly
, the
Velvet Underground
, and the
Rolling Stones
, to name but a few. An all-time classic and a milestone in the transition from blues to early rock and roll.
