          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.
