0coincidences - (what an intriguing name; is it something to do with metaphysics/philosophy/sychron
icity?) - you're quite right and thanks for the eloquent reply. What I was trying to say was Bo's version is so good, nobody could better it, but you make some very valid points.
Best wishes

@nedhamson Yes, it was the B side to "Hey! Bo Diddley". My brother had this single and I remember it well.

quick sliver messagers aswell for a cool cover

Anyone out there today even remotely talented as Bo Diddley? I doubt it.

@0coincidences I'm sorry that I didn't look but Thank You....
What an extraordinary performance, and record. I must have heard it a thousand times or more but it still sounds fresh. How do they do that? It must be genius.
In the case of the Rolling Stones' version, their intention was to turn the world onto Bo, so that's reason enough, but I don't know why anyone else would attempt it...

@guitarandharp why wouldnt anyone else attempt it? its a great song, a classic. a standard... it holds so much of the essence of rock n roll that anybody that would want to feel it should go and learn this song and cover... covering songs is how we get to know what we love, what we feel... what the composer felt when he plays it. it's our way of making it our own... its our way of learning. it doesnt mean that we can make it as good, but it means we can live it. try it, you'll see. :-)

Sounds like the original 45 rpm recording. I htink it was the "b" side to one of his early hits

@nedhamson took it from a chess records compilation of bo's greatest hits... im assuming it would be the original recording.
