Johnny Kidd - So What?! - The Brits Are Rocking Vol.7 (CD)

1-CD with 36-page booklet, 34 tracks. Total playing time approx. 70 min.
Bear Family Records® continues its CD-series of recordings by benchmark British rockers with an album dedicated to Johnny Kidd & The Pirates.
Johnny Kidd died in 1966, but along with his group The Pirates he is still considered one of the greats of British beat.
Unlike some European counterparts, he avoided imitating Elvis and instead cultivated a natural style of his own.
Also unusual for his time: alone or working with others, he wrote many original songs, including the epochal hit Shakin' All Over.
Johnny Kidd and his band inspired a host of later British rock groups and artists.
Expanded project compared to the insert CD of the 10inch vinyl LP dedicated to Johnny Kidd, 'Please, Don't Touch!' (BAF14021), including eleven early live BBC recordings.
Extensive liner notes by Ashley Woods in the full-color illustrated booklet and carefully edited recordings.
