During the 1950s, Lonnie Donegan reigned as the undisputed 'King of Skiffle' and he is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential musician of his era.

This unique 58-track, 2CD collection contains all his singles, both As and B-sides issued between 1954-1961.

Features 32 UK hits, including Lonnie's four UK No. 1s 'Cumberland Gap', 'Gamblin' Man', 'Putting On The Style' and 'My Old Man's A Dustman'.

Also included are a trio of rare, early singles, which are often omitted from compilations, 'On A Christmas Day', 'Midnight Special' and the controversial 'Diggin' My Potatoes' (which was the subject of a BBC ban).
