Johnny Kidd & The Pirates
Quivers Down The Backbone CD

Johnny Kidd is regarded by many as the UK's finest-ever Rock 'n' Roller.
His career-defining, chart-topping Shakin' All Over is often cited as the best British Rock 'n' Roll record.
The various line-ups of his backing group, The Pirates, are equally highly regarded, and featured legendary names like Joe Moretti, Big Jim Sullivan, Mick Green, Alan Caddy, Brian Gregg, Johnny Spence, Clem Cattini and Frank Farley.
They also charted with Please Don't Touch, You Got What It Takes, Restless, Linda Lu and A Shot Of Rhythm and Blues.
Between 1959 and 1962, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates released nine singles in the UK, of which six were chart hits, whilst two further sides were included on a Saturday Club LP.
This 33 track collection gathers all of those releases, alongside three titles which were not originally released, plus as special bonus tracks of ten unfeasibly rare live performances, unavailable elsewhere on CD.
