Here's one of the pioneers of the British Blues/Skiffle scene!!!! It's Tony "Lonnie" Donegan with his Skiffle Group, supplemented by CHRIS BARBER on harmonica!!! "Midnight Special" is the A-side and Leroy Carr's "When The Sun Goes Down" is on the flip. There's no doubt this is the toughest of Donegan's early 45s to track down and to find an original copy in this condition is surely the stuff of dreams for collectors!!! So, bid now to win this gem or, after the auction has ended, you can sit back in your chair and wonder how you managed to let this MONSTER MOD SOUL RARITY pass you by!!!

A TRULY fantastic double-sider, any fan of Lonnie Donegan, Chris Barber, the Blues/Skiffle scene or 50s music in general will simply have to have this item in their collection!!!! Grade (labels): The classic black labels with silver print are in AS NEW condition; absolutely NO wear of any kind and NO spindle marks!! Grade (vinyl): Incredibly superb and strictly graded at MINT . Good luck in finding another one of these nuggets......... they just do NOT turn up in this VIRGIN shape!!!! Grade (company bag): Period-correct white with maroon print straight-top bag in absolutely superb shape!!!! Why buy?: This is an absolute ICONIC MONSTER of a BLUES/SKIFFLE gem and always so incredibly sought-after!!

Shipping: Kindly note that the STAMP cost that appears on the label outside of a package absolutely does NOT represent the actual cost of shipping an item!!! For example, e ach item I sell is carefully packaged inside a PVC sleeve, with factory-cut cardboard stiffeners either side and (to ensure the item arrives in the condition it leaves) shipped individually in a brand new record mailer; unlike some other sellers I do NOT use poor packaging with scrap cardboard - or worse still NO cardboard - inside! I cannot accept any responsibility for payments/items lost or damaged and not covered by adequate insurance. If you do insist on using PayPal through the eBay checkout, the consequence of PayPal's rigid conditions is that all items must be sent by an adequately insured shipping method with proof of delivery; no exceptions.
