Rock 'n' roll starts here. Compiled in 1958, the album opens with the rousing title track from 1955 and offers an indispensable overview of the rock pioneer's earliest singles - essential recordings that laid the foundations for an entire genre. The 12 tracks collected here, including "I'm A Man", "Hey! Bo Diddley", "Pretty Thing" and other classics based on the unmistakable Bo Diddley beat, continue to inspire almost 70 years later.
