In his recent Black Grooves website review of "Bo Diddley's Beach Party" (Hip-O Select B0015214-02 MP3/CD), Tom Fine writes, inter alia:

"It’s good to have this album back in print. The 2007 CD reissue "Bo Diddley - The Definitive Collection" (Geffen 000878602) contains all the major hits and a few other studio recordings. The pair of CDs should provide ample evidence of why BO DIDDLEY was so influential on so many rock and blues artists."
