The Vipers Skife Group formed in the Spring of 1956 and in terms of commercial success, were the second Skifers out of the blocks after the mighty Lonnie Donegan, it's probably fair to say that apart from Lonnie, they left Skife's strongest recorded legacy

This compilation comprises everything that they released under their own name on EMI's Parlophone label, between 1956-58.

These include their four UK hits, 'Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O', 'Cumberland Gap', 'Maggie May' and 'Streamline Train', as well as popular near-misses like 'Ain't You Glad', 'Hey Liley, Liley Lo', 'No Other Baby', etc., and their "Coffee Bar Session" LP. 

They also recorded under various other aliases; hopefully, their extra- curricular recordings might be the subject of a future Jasmine compilation.

Like many Skife groups their personnel fuctuated, but their one constant factor was their founder, Wally Whyton, later a popular BBC TV and radio presenter.
