Sing-a-long medleys were guaranteed to shift shellac and vinyl. And few who recorded such things sold more records than the Big Ben Banjo Band, a group of seasoned studio musicians brought together by one of the leading UK record producers of the 50s and early 60s - Norrie Paramor. Some of the leading studio men of the day appeared on BBBB sessions, including guitarists Billy Bell, Judd Proctor and Bert Weedon and trombonist George Chisholm. The BBBB was a regular fixture in the UK charts until rock 'n' roll took hold - particularly around Christmas time, when parties were in full swing. Even after it did, their albums and EPs were in great demand throughout the 60s and well into the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Japanese Sandman \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Bye Bye Blackbird \u003cbr\u003e1.5 How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree?) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Underneath the Arches \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Swanee \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Peg O' My Heart \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Goodbye Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Roll Out the Barrel \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Paddlin' Madelin Home \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Ma!
