You are bidding for a CLASSIC UK 50'S ROCK N' ROLL / SKIFFLE 78 RPM single by THE LONNIE DONEGAN SKIFFLE GROUP called DIGGIN' MY POTATOES backed with BURY MY BODY issued on the DECCA JAZZ record label in the UK in 1956, cat number F-J 10695. The record is in excellent condition with excellent labels .The record has little wear with slight surface scuffs and surface scratches but plays with no jumps and clicks and a minimum of surface noise. CLASSIC UK SKIFFLE from LONNIE DONEGAN with two great rocking tracks . LONNIE DONEGAN had a huge world wide hit with ROCK ISLAND LINE and started the SKIFFLE craze in the UK which introduced FOLK and BLUES to UK teenagers, DONEGAN was a huge influence kickstarting the UK ROCK, BLUES and FOLK industry,. and responsible for thousands of British teenagers buying a guitar learning a few chords and forming groups. The BEATLES STONES, DIRE STRAITS, QUEEN, VAN MORRISON, BILLY FURY, CLIFF RICHAR , all started by taking their first fumbling steps in SKIFFLE groups, before turning to rock and roll, or the blues, or folk. SKIFFLE only lasted about a year though LONNIE DONEGAN had a lng series of hits right into the 60's and was selling out venues right up to his death a couple of years back, This was the follow up to ROCK ISLAND LINE and was banned by the BBC radio for it's suggestive lyrics and was only a minor hit . A little piece of recording history... RARE in decent condition, from my own collection.

10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, PACKED BETWEEN 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE SLABS, WRAPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP WITH CARDBOARD STIFFENERS WHICH IS THEN BOXED, THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND REQUIRES STRONG PACKAGING TO ENSURE SAFE DELIVERY.
USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 5 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.
