LONNIE DONEGAN - SHOWCASE (180g IMPORT LP)

180g Vinyl Reissue of Lonnie Donegan's 1956 debut album Showcase. In that year he was not only England's premier bluesman, but was also one of the first rock'n'roll stars in the mode of Elvis Presley. He had invented a new style of music called skiffle and every teenager in Britain was racing out to the record shops to snap up anything Lonnie recorded.

"He was the first person we had heard of from Britain to get to the coveted No. 1 in the charts, and we studied his records avidly. We all bought guitars to be in a skiffle group. He was the man." — Paul McCartney
