Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1965. "Collier's Chess album is an above-average mid-'60s soul LP, particularly for an artist that never had a big pop hit. Collier's voice is deeper and more gospel-inflected than that of most woman soul singers of the period. She favors slower material than most soul vocalists did as well, as on her most famous recording, 'I Had a Talk with My Man Last Night' (included here); Ray Charles stands out as an influence, as three of his songs are covered. She proves capable on swinging medium-tempo belters too, as on the imaginatively arranged version of 'My Babe,' which sounds here more like gospel-soul than the electric blues tune as popularized by Little Walter. It's quality, varied soul, not simply collector marginalia despite Collier's obscurity. The top-flight Chess soul production--frequent tasteful brass and strings, yet also some earthy numbers with tough bluesy licks--sometimes recalls the sound of Etta James' recordings from the same era." --All Music Guide

Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1971. Diddley explores John Fogerty's catalog on this one, covering three of his songs: "Bad Moon Rising," "Down On The Corner" and "Lodi." Also included are covers of Elton John's "Bad Side Of The Moon," Al Kooper's "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," and The Band's "The Shape I'm In." "Now this album that you're holding has a lot to do with Bo and his attitude. As well as with the guitar with the jagged edges and that voice full of loose ceiling plaster. Like all of his other albums, this one is pure Diddley. And like all of his other albums, this one is for right now."
