Details:
From 1970 to 1974, over four albums, Bo Diddley went through some significant musical changes, taking a funkier direction than his better known, earlier recordings. At the time the albums were not greatly admired by the majority of his older fans. But with the passing of time the rise of funk and hip-hop cultures has resulted in a re-evaluation of Bo's early '70s albums, with modern producers and DJs plundering the old vinyl for the rare grooves and backbeats (as used by De La Soul in 'Buddy', for instance). This carefully chosen collection selects from all four albums - THE BLACK GLADIATOR (1970), ANOTHER DIMENSION (1971), WHERE IT ALL BEGAN (1972), BIG BAD BO (1974) - for 20 tracks ranging from funky jams with slashing guitar rhythms and furious organ solos to urbane jazz-funk with sophisticated brass arrangements.
