With his Pirates, Kidd turned out
recordings valued among the best R'n'R/R&B to emerge from the UK.
"Please Don't Touch", has been covered many times. Feel the
subtle power of "Shakin'
All Over" via the opening guitar figure, Kidd's moody
vocals and haunting lyrics that really sent "Quivers down the
backbone."
After a "mutiny" in the ranks, the new crew's hard
grafting paid off and saw the group riding high in the charts once again
with the Beat classic "I'll
Never Get Over You"; ironically amongst groups of the MerseyBeat
boom that Kidd and his Pirates once inspired.
The
groups' numerous recordings offer some great cuts, with many gems
hidden away on the flipsides of singles. There was also is a
host of tracks that were unreleased in Kidd's lifetime, including
those from an 1964
aborted album which show off how powerful the group's sound could
be.
