In Australia 'Shakin' All Over' was a huge #1 hit (double A-side with a Latino version of 'Que Sera Sera') for Normie Rowe (Australia's biggest solo pop star of the day), in fact it was one of the biggest selling singles of the decade over here full stop. It's a bullet-proof song, even if you do a half-decent version it's going to kick arse. A true classic rock 'n' roll song from the pre-Beatles era. Superb video once again!

And still no film of The Kidd and the group playing a song. I read years ago that somebody thought Dave Clark had a film of them because he owns (and restricts) access to the Ready Steady Go archive but nothing has surfaced. I'd have to take issue with the comment right at the end of this film that The Pirates enjoyed 'some success' during the punk period. Commercially perhaps but there is the story about their appearance, second on the bill, at the Reading festival in 1978, They were so good that the leader of the headliner was said to be annoyed that his group had to follow them. The headliner was The Jam.

Sad to discover he died at just 30 years old.

I live in Whitefield, in Bury MBC area. Sadly, Johnny KIdd and a 17 year old girl were killed in a head on car crash in nearby Breightmet, Bolton, right on the border with Radcliffe, now part of Bury. The collision happened in October 1966 when, in that year, a record number of people were killed in the UK in traffic accidents, nearly 8,000, which still stands as a peacetime record in the UK. Compare that to the current annual death toll, under 2,000 with around three times as many vehicles on the road as 57 years ago.

Radio Luxemburg was not a pirate radio station it was licenced in Luxemburg. The record playing radio station was in existence from the 1950s, took over broadcasting at 6 pm each evening from the French speaking programming until late into the night. Pirate radio started in the 1960s broadcasting from ships such as Radio Caroline out of what's then territorial waters. The pirate stations were eventually killed off when the government started BBC Radio 1,poaching DJs from the ships. I actuall saw Johnny Kid and the Pirates when they appeared at the Odeon in my home town along with Bobby Vee and others on a One Night Stand.

In my opinion the Best English rock and roll band of the time, I first saw them as a part of the Bruce Channel tour and they really took off when Mick Green joined, not sure of the line up when they added an organ though, I saw this line up at Queen Mary College in London then saw them with this line up in Sidcup Kent, two weeks before he died. The funny thing is that when I saw him on the Bruce Channel tour , the thing that stuck in my mind was the guitarist's guitar, it had a silver sparkle finish and when the spotlight was on him, it sent beams of light all over the place, it was probably a Gretch sparkle Jet, funny how the mind works after all these years, that must have been about 60 years ago

They added organist Vic Cooper in 1964 and he is first heard on the "Jealous Girl" single. "Your Cheatin' Heart" on the flip was one of around a dozen songs recorded the same year for what would have been Johnny Kidd's first album. The lack of charting success for "Jealous Girl" brought to an end hope for the album. Mick Green left to be replaced by John Weider. When he left, John Morshead joined - it is this line-up seen in the few seconds of live action film that was preserved in a documentary made in Northern Ireland (exact details foggy in my mind).

Their dad would dutifully turn up at school sports days in the hooped shirt and eye patch and we would all get autographs on sweet wrappers, or whatever we had. It took me a few years to realise that he didn’t always dress like that….but he was clearly a good sport. Fred “ Johnnie Kidd” Heath would have died just after l started senior school, so I wasn’t in touch with his sons at that point. But it must have been incredibly hard for them.

I had a new girlfriend, and it was our first date together. The band was very good, but during 'Shakin' All Over' Johnny was actually shakin' all over, making the girls scream, A young thug, probably a bit jealous climbed on stage and punched Johnny, and the band hurried from the stage. A policeman on duty at the dancehall arrested him. The band came back on and continued with the show. The young man who punched Johnny was fined for assault a month later.

Johnny Kidd & the Pirates reste une exemplaire aventure musicale à laquelle, aujourd'hui encore, nous continuons de nous référer, et Johnny Kidd avait une voix. Grand regret qu'il n'y ait pas la moindre petite vidéo de lui.

Having actually watched JOHNNY KIDD live and GENE VINCENT. it was plain to see the influence. You see I was there.

For me he was the greatest rocker in England in the generation of British rock before the arrival of the Beatles. For me, the biggest frustration was that he didn't release an album during his lifetime, he deserved this award, in addition to the fact that we don't have any images of shows of him and his band live.

They were doing R & B before the Rolling Stones were formed-listen to their version of "I Just Want To Make Love To You" which is the Cattini, Gregg and Caddy band- it's very good and I believe was recorded in 1961 or 62 it is on YT.

Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were iconic during the early 60s before merseybeat era, Kidd had a bit of Gene Vincent charisma, band sounded more "garage" and they played rock even before rock was even born. Such a sad loss in 66, they could catch a second wave, because in their heydays, they were way ahead of their time. They skipped that 60s beat part and became "rock" stars too soon. Shaking All Over is the all time classic, I love the version by The Guess Who (but it's more beat and rock and roll influence with the vibe of early psychedelia in it). I think they came out with the definitive version of this mighty song. Thank you for this episode of YP.

Shame on me I didn’t know who wrote Shakin All Over. The first time I heard it was by the Guess Who, the second time by The Who.The reharmonization of the song at the end of this YP issue perfectly fit the story.

6:23 *Telstar* was *NOT* a song! It was an *instrumental* number, written by Joe Meek and produced by Meek for Decca Records in 1962. @Yesterday's Papers, you need to do better than this. I've picked you up on three separate errors and the video is just under a third of the way through.

Who was the manager, or road manager of a huge band (Stones, Who, Kinks, Zeppelin ?...) that drank all the time & was perpetually pissed off that Johnny Kidd & The Pirates weren't more popular worldwide ? Maybe even a former band member ?.... I read this some time ago & forget who it is. Anyone ? 🚬😎👍

I think it was Peter Grant. Pirates drummer Clem Cattini almost became Led Zeppelin's drummer. He passed on the offer and they got John Bonham,, who was also a huge fan of Johnny Kidd.
