One of England's top rock & roll outfits before the Beatles led the early-'60s Beat Boom, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates are best remembered today for one international rock classic ("Shakin' All Over") and as a seminal influence on several more famous groups, most notably the Who.Johnny Kidd (born Frederick Heath) had formed his first band, a skiffle group called the Five Nutters, in 1957. They quickly outgrew their skiffle roots and, after a short period fronting the Fred Heath Combo, he joined Alan Caddy (guitar), Tony Docherty (rhythm guitar), and Ken McKay (drums), in early 1958 in an outfit that was dubbed Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, who ...

This CD combines two U.K. compilations on Johnny Kidd & the Pirates onto one disc, in a pretty handy CD — Memorial Album was a superb collection of Kidd's best released tracks plus a lost intended album side or two, while Your Cheatin' Heart was a lesser assembly of whatever was left over from that earlier platter; between the two there are a lot of A- and B-sides represented, all bracketed by Kidd's first and last singles. The material overlaps the EMI double-CD set of Kidd's complete output, although the selectivity employed on the two original releases may be to the liking of people just discovering Kidd's work, or who just want a collection of his best released sides — the annotation is a little sketchier than usual for BGO, especially in dealing with precisely who is playing, but the state-of-the-art sound is impressive and the assembly of the best A- and B-sides may well impress listeners who have never been persuaded of Kidd's worth or importance.
