Notes

Originally recorded by Bo Diddley on 2nd March 1955, his first recording session. This was initially released as a single (on the A-side w/ I'm A Man on the flip side) in 1955 in both the 78rpm and the 45rpm single formats. It was subsequently released in 1967 as a 4" 'hip pocket' single.

Writing credits on records are Ellas McDaniel, real name of Bo Diddley. Often appears incorrectly on recordings and elsewhere as Ellis McDaniels or other variation.
