AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS RARE CHRISTMAS 78 FROM LONNIE DONEGAN ON THE UK COLUMBIA LABEL
THIS WAS THE THIRD RELEASE UNDER LONNIE'S OWN NAME BUT IT FAILED TO CHART ACTUALLY IT WAS THE CHRIS BARBER BAND FEATURING LONNIE DONEGAN!
Chris Barber, Lonnie Donegan, Jim Bray, Ron Bowden, Pat Halcox, and Monty Sunshine. Lonnie Donegan was widely acknowledged to be the 'King Of Skiffle'. A situation that came about more by chance than by design for Donegan did not invent the music nor was he responsible for its introduction onto the British music scene. However, he was responsible for its popularisation and it is beyond doubt that he was the greatest influence on those musical performers who would follow him in the 1960s to bring about the 'beat boom', 'the group sound' and establish Britain as an important force in popular music. Donegan was already an accomplished banjo player with the Chris Barber jazz band when the opportunity to provide a 'skiffle' break during the band's stage performances arose. One of the more popular numbers that Lonnie performed was 'Rock Island Line'- a song that he had taken from American bluesman 'Leadbelly' and provided with a new flavour of his own making. The issue of this number as a single proved so popular that Donegan had the temerity to ask Barber for a substantial raise. As Chris did not want to turn his band into a skiffle outfit the request was refused and Lonnie set out on his own. ABOUT THIS RECORD:-

POSTAGE STUFF Nothing in this world is "FREE" so if you see free postage it means the cost of the post is already in the starting price of the record - eBay have introduced "free postage" so that they can take a % cut of the Postal payment. I have INCLUDED £3.60 in the start price which just covers basic second class delivery in the THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND THE ACTUAL COMBINED COST OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE BY 1ST CLASS MAIL / AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS - IN THE UK £ 5, EUROPE £ 8, AND REST OF WORLD IS £ 12. The £3.60 has been deducted from these postage options... Because of this new "Innovation" from eBaY There is now no formal way to offer POSTAGE DISCOUNTS for MULTIPLE ITEMS - BUT .. I AM HAPPY TO OFFER A POSTAGE REBATE FOR EVERY EXTRA 78rpm RECORD BOUGHT THAT GOES IN THE SAME POSTAL PACKET WHERE POSTAGE IS LISTED AS "FREE". (Ask for details before paying) 10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!! THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS, USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES. I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!)
