Great take on the Bo Diddley number - with Mick Green's stylish choppy guitar - on the back of 'A Shot of Rhythm And Blues'. + Informações

Charted in June 1959 in the UK & peaked at # 25 Johnny Kidd ( born Frederick Heath 23 December 1935 died 7 October 1966) was an British singer and songwriter . He was a pre-Beatles British rock and roller who achieved worldwide fame and wrote his own songs unlike many artists of the time. Please Dont Touch was his first hit single. Kidd's most famous song as a songwriter was Shakin' All Over, a #1 UK hit for Johnny Kidd & The Pirates in 1960. Kidd's own version didn't chart outside of Europe, but The Guess Who`s 1965 version topped the Canadian charts and was also a #22 US hit and in Australia Normie Rowe topped the charts with his version in 1965. It was also famously covered by The Who on the Live at Leeds album. Sadly Johnny Kidd died aged only 30 in 1966 in a car accident . RIP. + Informações

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, this ain't garage, and this ain't the original! Well, it's not been posted before, and it IS interesting. It's still not as raucous as the Guess Who's cover version, but in my opinion this has some great growling guitar in it, and that makes it all worthwhile! Enjoy!. + Informações

Plays in *STEREO*. Furious, soul-wrenching song "I Want That" from Johnny Kidd. Rather like 'Summertime' & 'Fever' combined and upped in tempo ten times. Probably does not have any of the Pirates playing, backed instead by the Mike Sammes Singers & Orchestra. Recorded 1 Dec. 1961, released 1962 as the B-side of 'Hurry On Back To Love'.. + Informações
