Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were responsible for the 1960 number one hit, Shakin' All Over, a performance that is still regarded as one of the seminal recordings in British pop music history. That disc alone would justify their inclusion in Bear Family Records®'s 10inch vinyl LP series but the group produced a string of excellent releases that unquestionably earn them a place alongside Cliff Richard, The Shadows and Billy Fury in the pantheon of pre-Beatle British popsters. 

Unlike his contemporaries, Kidd's exceptional voice showed no Presley influence and additionally he was responsible for writing or co-writing much of his early work. As a live act, the group were trailblazers. Performing in front of a 20ft x 30ft uv galleon backdrop and dressed in full pirate regalia, Kidd's power trios influenced musicians nationwide - The Who, The Hollies and Wilko Johnson are but three of the artists who openly acknowledge their debt to the pirate-in-chief.
This compilation focuses on Kidd's earliest work with the first Pirates group, recordings made with the classic ‘Mark 2’ Pirates Brian Gregg, Alan Caddy and drum legend Clem Cattini.
