Brilliant - so atmospheric. I still have this on a Pye Nixa EP! That's Dick Bishop on mandolin. And congrats on using the pics by O Winston Link - published in a book called Steel, Steam and Stars. Stunning.

Just posting to various Lonnie uploaders - where might there be a complilation or complete collection of Lonnie's skiffle work? I'd be interested in having a complete collection, but know it might be difficult. Any info greatly appreciated - thanks.

There is a great compilation called "Rock Island Line - The Singles Anthology 1955-1967". Only the singles, but is 86 tracks enough?
