Bo Diddley (EP)

Here's a beautiful copy of the 1958 EP that Chess released with four Bo Diddley tracks, two of which are among his very best of all time: Bo Diddley, I'm A Man, Willie And Lillie, and Bo Meets The Monster. The first two were from his first single on Checker 814 in 1955, and that's the chart information shown below. It comes in the rare and much more valuable heavy-cardboard sleeve (a paper sleeve was also released and is worth about half as much). The back of the sleeve has a brief bio about Bo Diddley. Note: The 45 EP record itself has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl and audio. The sleeve grades EX overall, as it has a few notable flaws: A partially split top edge, some color fading, and a stripe of some residue (tape?) that's quite light on the front cover and darker on the back.
