Bo Diddley
Universal's 2007 set The Definitive Collection is a retitled reissue of the previously released 1997 comp His Best. No matter the title, this is an excellent 20-track roundup of Bo basics. To be sure, not everything great that he did is here by any means -- a bunch of great singles are missing, such as the crushing boogie of "Diddly Wah Diddy," ...

Joe Meek's Freakbeat: 30 Freakbeat, Mod and R&B Nuggets
(2007)

by
Joe Meek
Joe Meek is most famous for the records he made in the early-to-mid-1960s, even the best of which usually matched futuristic one-of-a-kind production with quaint, silly (if sometimes quite catchy) tunes. This has led many critics to charge, with some justification, that trends were passing him by as British Invasion groups with grittier, more ...

Manfred Mann
It's hard to call a band with one of the biggest songs in oldies radio underappreciated, but it's hard to dispute that Manfred Mann are a band ignored. Alone among all major (and not so major) British Invasion bands, they have never experienced a revival, perhaps because their influence was not lasting. Few bands covered them and although the ...

Bo's Blues

by
Bo Diddley
Bo's Blues features 22 of Bo Diddley's best blues-oriented sides from the Chess catalog, including some rare stuff -- the rip-roaring 1959 outing "Run Diddley Daddy," a jive-loaded "Cops and Robbers" from 1956 that features maraca shaker Jerome Green more than Diddley, and a surging "Down Home Special." If you think that everything Bo Diddley ever ...

Bo Diddley
With Bo Diddley's various hits and anthology packages all out of print and the multi-disc deluxe box set out of pocketbook reach for most casual consumers, MCA finally comes up with a 20-track compilation that hits the bull's-eye and makes this rock pioneer's best and most influential work available to everyone. The song list reads like a primer ...

The R&B Years
(1982)
more music like this
by
Manfred Mann
The Manfreds always took great pains to point out that their true love was R&B and jazz, not the pop/rock they sang on their hit singles, although they should have realized that their fans dug both approaches. Anyway, this 20-song compilation is a good taste of their purer sounds, taken from LPs, EPs, and singles cut by the band during the Paul ...

Stack Waddy
Stack Waddy's debut album is one of the "must hear" discs of the early 1970s, an uncompromising roar that might cavort through that shell-shocked no man's land that sprawls between Captain Beefheart and the Edgar Broughton Band, but which winds up defiantly beholden to absolutely nothing else you've ever heard -- one reason, perhaps, why the group ...

Head On!

by
Roy Head
The 15 recordings on Head On! were made during a commercial drought following Roy Head's mid-'60s streak of hits preceding his successful resurrection as a country artist in the early '70s. Although there are a couple of country songs (one of which is a remake of his hit "Treat Her Right"), the rest of the performances fuse James Brown with Mitch ...

The Manfred Mann Album/My Little Red Book of Winners
(2001)
more music like this
by
Manfred Mann
The first of a duo of "two-fer" collections of Manfred Mann's earliest work from 1964 and 1965 oddly combines their first and third American albums onto a single disc. Although there aren't any extras added onto these straight 2001 reissues (except for replications of the original cheesy notes), the crisply remastered sound is in pristine stereo. ...

Rock 'N' Roll Legends

by
Bo Diddley
With his patented "shave & a haircut-two bits" rhythm, which he actually didn't invent but did forever bestow with his name, Bo Diddley created as insular a body of work in the late 1950s and early '60s as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, or any of the other great nascent rockers of the era. This set is a nice introduction to it all, and it includes ...
