Bo Diddley - I Can Tell
“When people talk about heavy beats THIS is what springs to my mind!!! Absolute destroyer of a riff... Pounder! This is the harder-edged but shorter US version."

This Bo Diddley record has a misprint title. 'You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover' is instead the very Yoda sounding 'A Book By The Cover You Can't Judge'. Just acquired from Dearborn Music and in good shape for a record from 1962.
