Many thanks! Uh, you wouldn't happen to have the Hip-O Select collection covering 1955-58 - I'm A Man? It's now the only one remaining that I don't have in lossless. Thanks again.

Thank you so much!

I hope someday Road Runner (1959-1960) and Ride On (1960-1961) will follow suit. These Bo Diddley Chess Masters are amazing.
