Fronted by bandleader/arranger Harry Robinson, the bootin’ LORD ROCKINGHAM’S XI - or, to give them their full name, JACK GOOD PRESENTS LORD ROCKINGHAM’S XI - were the house band on the UK’s first Rock’n’Roll T.V. show, Oh Boy!

In addition to backing the various singers and guest artists on Oh Boy! They usually performed their own instrumental numbers each week. They also cut a handful of 45s and topped the UK charts for three weeks in late 1958 with the novelty instro, ‘Hoots Mon’.

This compilation comprises all of The Rockingham XI’s releases between 1958-62, alongside similarly-styled 45s from band members and spinoff projects, Cherry Wainer, Red Price, Jack Good’s Fat Noise, Rex & The Minors, Harry Robinson’s XV and The Harry Robinson Crew. This body of work has never been thus compiled before, making for a unique package, while - as ever - a handful of these sides are making their CD debuts.
