VA: - Rock And Roll All Night Long - Tribute To Hurriganes
ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT LONG - A ROCKABILLY TRIBUTE TO HURRIGANES




FINLAND, THE LAND OF A THOUSAND LAKES


Exaggerating slightly, one could say that the same number of Hurriganes
cover bands can be found in this sparsely populated country and a few
more in our neighboring Sweden. To this day, in pubs, clubs and other
concert venues, Hurriganes classics get the dance shoes going wild.
Hurriganes’s position as a trailblazer cannot be overemphasized. The
band proved that, also from our own country, a rock ‘n’ roll band could
come along and sound just as good as their world-wide counterparts and
with a great style to boot.

I decided to use national boldness and put together a tribute album to
this legendary group. My idea was to gather together, from the
rockabilly, original rock ‘n’ roll and teddy boy scenes, bands and
performers for many of whom Hurriganes has marked the starting point to
the world of real rock ‘n’ roll.

In Finland, in the early 1970s there were few restaurants, alcohol was
expensive and in the leftist art world, it was generally held that the
United States was the world’s threat and the Soviet Union, the bringer
of peace. Also in the world of music, there were few exceptions to the
rule of progressive and art rock performers, for whom the idea of
rocking out was to stare at their “nailed-to-the-floor” shoes and
demonstrate, with wrinkled brow, their virtuoso playing skills and long
solo sections. But somewhere smoldered a rebellious seed and time began
to be ripe for a new wave of rock ‘n’ roll, the rock ‘n’ roll revival.

In 1971, Remu Aaltonen formed Hurriganes, along with Ile Kallio and
Cisse Häkkinen. The group worked hard and its popularity began, slowly
but surely, to increase. Hurriganes’s sound was, from the start,
completely modern, although the band also played 1950s and 60s rock ‘n’
roll, instrumental rock and ballads.

Cisse Häkkinen’s bass playing and Remu Aaltonen’s drumming formed the
spine of Hurriganes’s sound. The duo’s playing wasn’t necessarily
virtuoso but neither did it sound academic. One could say that it was a
taste of life. In Remu’s head, the exclamations and phrases of “rock
English” were created, forming a truly original singing style. British
musician, Nick Lowe, called Remu’s singing style the Esperanto of rock
music. Ile Kallio, Albert Järvinen and Janne Louhivuori took care of the
guitarists’ job, each in turn and occasionally even together. Each one
of these guitarists had his own strengths and each of their styles
contributed to the band’s overall sound.

Hurriganes broke audience records in both Finland and Sweden and in 1977
the group was at the top in its home land, without a single noteworthy
challenger. But in the metropolitan area, a 1950s trend had started and
it spread, little by little, throughout Finland, creating an
unprecedented rockabilly boom. During 1978, Hurriganes’s number one
position among the youth of Finland, switched to Teddy & The Tigers.
From 1977 – 1981 Finland gave birth to more and more new ‘50s rock ‘n’
roll and rockabilly bands, which strove for the old original American
sound or switched to playing British teddy boy rock ‘n’ roll. The
estimate, that during these so called “crazy years”, there were, in
Finland, over 200 groups which described their style as rockabilly, is
probably pretty close to the truth. During 1982, this trend also began
to fade but, during these years, a firm base for Finnish rock ‘n’ roll
culture was built and it is still going strong today.

Hurriganes played their last show in 1984. In 1988, they did a short
comeback tour that had its moments, although it wasn’t very successful.
Remu Aaltonen has, to this day, had bands that use the name Hurriganes.

That’s all, except to say, happy rock ‘n’ roll.

Huelyn Duvall with Mike Bell And The Belltones - Baby, Make A Move EP
Huelyn Duvall is a bona fide Texas Rockabilly legend. He was in the
centre of that rocking hillbilly storm that ravaged America in the mid
50s, gigging alongside the biggest names in rock'n'roll. Impossibly
handsome, Duvall had a savage way with a guitar and a bopping tune that quickly gained him national attention. His hard hitting waxings for Challenge (Three Months to Kill), Starfire (It's No Wonder) and other
labels are desirable collector items today. The continuing release of
unissued masters from his recording sessions with Danny Wolfe and Tooter Boatman's Chapparals have only served to enhance his glowing reputation amongst Rocking diehards.

A lesser performer would be happy to rest on their laurels and trade on past glories. But this Texas Rockabilly Legend is made of sterner stuff.
Huelyn has continued to release top-quality rockers throughout his
career, and remains in constant demand to headline at the biggest
Rockabilly music festivals around the world. Duvall is held in such high esteem among his fellow musicians that the most talented young players from the Rocking scene are proud to play alongside him. For this outstanding EP he is joined by Finland's hottest new combo, Mike Bell And Thehe Belltones. Mike, Kali, Iikku and Japi have been tearing it up at the major weekenders, and to see them joining forces with Huelyn on Goofin' Records is a musical match made in heaven.

This record is sure to have DJs and record hops filling honky tonk
hardwood floors everywhere. From the infectious foot-tapper Little Bit
of Lovin', via stomping Stina Lee to the KILLER bopper Baby Make a Move - here is a slab of vinyl that will FORCE you to dance!

Johnny Spence & Doctor's Order - Hot And Rockin'
Johnny Spence is a 69 years old British rock'n'roll legend, who started his chorea
already in the early 60's as a bass player for Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. As a trio
the Pirates featuring Johnny also on vocals did their first recordings in 1964, and
the single ""My babe" has been considered a classic ever since. Along with guitarist
Mick Green and drummer Frank Farley they did some great albums especially in the
late 70's and early 80's, and they are considered of being the greatest rock'n'roll
trio ever.
Finland's finest and toughest rock'n'roll/rhythm & blues-trio Doctor's Order
features Grande-Archie Hämäläinen on guitar, Teddy Bear Nättilä on bass and Mighty
Man Oikarinen on drums. Besides the albums with Johnny Spence they have released six
albums as a trio, one album with the Pirates guitarist Mick Green

Johnny Spence & Doctor's Order did their first album "Full Throttle No Brakes"
(Goofin' Records) together two and a half years ago, it got raving reviews
everywhere, and went even to top20 on finnish charts.
The new album by Johnny & the doctors is "Hot And Rockin'". It is a stunning
sounding rock'n'roll/rhythm & blues-album, which was recorded in four days last
February at Äänistudio in Vantaa in Finland. It has now been released by legendary
finnish roots music label Goofin' Records. The album features Johnny and his finnish
fellow doctors in full action, and there is 15 hardhitting, tough sounding, rockin'
and rollin' tracks on the album. This time there is also some brand new songs; three
songs written by Johnny Spence and also a bunch of songs that have been previously
performed by Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Hurriganes, Mungo Jerry,
Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Mose Allison, Lightin' Hopkins, Rufus Thomas and others.

Dedications by Johnny Spence:
"A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues" - first song I ever recorded with Johnny Kidd - a great
friend and a British rock'n'roll legend still missed.
"My Babe" - first song I ever recorded with The Pirates dedicated to Mick Green - a
good friend for over fifty years and a unique guitarist - sadly missed.

Jussi Syren & The Groundbreakers - Shave And Haircut
Jussi Syren And The Groundbreakers has released their seventh album Shave And Haircut (Goofin Records) On this project the band does what it does best - playing hard driving straight bluegrass. In the world of
overproduced and slick bluegrass music this album stands out. No overdubs - no head phones! The whole album was recorded in two days on tape.
Jussi Syren & The Groundbreakers put the edge back to bluegrass!


Liner notes by Bob Mitchell:

The group came to my attention on a European World of Bluegrass recording.
Jussi Syren & The Groundbreakers live in Finland, a long way from Bill Monroe’s home in Kentucky. But, make no mistake, they understand and are committed to the essential elements of traditional bluegrass: lots of drive, tight harmonies, first rate musicianship, and lyrics that are not overpowered by unnecessary
showmanship. To insure a more traditional and natural sound, this new project was recorded live on tape - with no overdubs.
Their sound is comparable to Red Allen and The Kentuckians, and the Lilly Brothers.
Jussi says, “That´s because we played a lot in bars and honky-tonks , just as they did.... It´s a noisy environment and you have to be loud and hard driving.

The group is anchored by Syren’s distinctive vocals and mandolin styling.

Tauri Oksala contributes driving, impressive banjo, finger picking guitar, and harmony vocals. J.P. Putkonen contributes a steady guitar and harmony vocals. Kari Hella lends a rock solid upright bass and bass vocals. Guests include Nelli Ikola on fiddle and Marko Vanhatalo on dobro.

Highlights include “Roses Are Blooming,” a lively instrumental “Southern Lady, “Hundred Proof Heartache,” and a poignant “Walk Slowly Darling.”

“Shave and Haircut” is a follow up to the band’s successful release, “From Vyborg to L.A.” The Groundbreakers are a dedicated hard working band and it is a pleasure to be able to include their music on my program.

Shockwave - Death Race
The Shockwave! on varsin nuori - helmikuussa 2010 perustettu instrumentaali surf-musiikkia soittava yhtye.

Liidikitaristi Jari Jousimon ja komppikitaristi Marko Rahikaisen lisäksi yhteessä soittaa bassoa Jesse Kervinen ja rumpuja Joose Gröhn.

Bändin jäsenien menneisyydestä löytyy useita yhteyitä mm. The Surf Wipes, The Charades, The Silver Hawks ja Life Giving Waters ja B.Cupp And The Strapless Trio jossa Jesse on edelleen aktiivisesti mukana.

The Shockwave! äänitti ensimmäisen 15 biisiä käsittävän pitkäsoiton Davide Florenon suosiollisella avustuksella kuluneen vuoden toukokuussa, joka julkaistaan nyt lokakuussa Goofin´Recordsin GAS-levymerkillä.

Bändin "missio" on levittää vanhan liiton ( old School surf) surf-musiikin
ilosanomaa soittamalla omien kappaleiden lisäksi tarkoin valittuja harvinaisia cover-biisejä Amerikan mantereelta sekä Japanista.

Ulkoasuun ja näyttävyyteen The Shockwave! panostaa pukeutumalla keikoillaan tyylin mukaisesti Hawaii-paitoihin.

Bändin tavaramerkkinä on Suomessa harvinaisemmat Mosrite-merkkiset kitarat, jotka eivät ole ihan tyypilliset rautalankamusiikin piirissä.

Keikkoja bändi tekee aktiivisesti klubeista isompiin festareihin ja varsin aktiivinen bändi on ollut rautalanka ja surf musa genren special tapahtumissa.

The Vision - Now We Have A Colour Television
The Vision: Now we have a colour teleVISION ! Now available !!

The Finnish band ' The Vision' , from city of Pori, playing surf-music with a rock-attitude was  founded in the end of  year 2009 by Tomi "Tommy Orbitron" 
Liljankoski - guitar (also in band Waikiki Kuks), Topi "Eric Electron" Lofman - bass (also in Jim Beat & Jussi Haanpaa) and Kari "Gary H.A. 
Fish" Hakala - drums. Only after few training sessions they booked studio and started recording their debut-album. "Look, NOW we are on teleVISION" was released in June 2010.
Filled with band's own humouristic arrangements of cover-classics, the album got excellent reviews in the media. Alan Taylor, editor-in-chief of The Pipeline Magazine (UK), placed the album fourth in his own Top 10!

With their second album "Now we have a colour teleVISION" The Vision serves a full table of their own material. Songs composed by Liljankoski have been arranged roughly with the band and the songs  have even the potential to become classics in their own genre.
Catchy melodies and tight rhythm keeps the listener focused throughout the album. The band excels also live which has been discovered in several club / pub gigs and in rautalanka events (such as Yyterin Twist 2010 and Viikinsaaren maihinnousu 2011)

Uncle John Trio - For Your Pleasure
Better later than never - after 20 years of country music, hundreds of gigs, writing songs and of course, listening and playing songs of our heroes like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and many others, we finally recorded an album: All together 14 songs, some written by me and many covers that we love to play on honky tonk bars.

I consider this album to be an introduction to who we are and what we sound like. We recorded it all live in the middle of the snowy Finnish winter. We had lot's of fun doing it and we're sure that you can feel it as well. So here it is: For Your Pleasure !

Come and see us on stage !

Marti Brom - Not For Nothin'
GOOFIN RECORDS, in joint venture with RIPSAW RECORDS, will release "NOT FOR NOTHIN‟," a 15 track CD by MARTÍ BROM (www.myspace.com/martirockabil ly), in Europe end of October 2010.



MARTÍ BROM, a performer internationally acclaimed for her hard-driving rockabilly and sultry traditional country vocals, collaborated on the album with premier Washington area musicians and Grammy-winning producer PETER BONTA to create a contender for best roots rock, hardcore country, rock „n‟ roll, rockabilly, Americana album of the decade. According to MARTÍ, however, her goal was more modest - simply to record a DC-themed thank you note for the Washington music community‟s hospitality during her family‟s military tour of duty here.



" NOT FOR NOTHIN´ "



MARTÍ‟s core support consisted of DC mainstays PEDRO SERA on guitar, LOUIE

NEWMYER on bass, and SAUL McCORMACK on drums - with Boogie Man DARYL DAVIS on piano. This energized crew was supplemented with key contributions from Dieselbilly BILL KIRCHEN on guitar and vocals, bluegrass fiddle player TAD MARKS, rockabilly BILLY HANCOCK on guitar, DAVE VAN ALLEN on twangin‟ steel guitar, veteran DEL PUSCHERT on tenor sax, down and dirty CHRIS WATLING on baritone sax, and bluegrass BRYAN SMITH on slappin‟ doghouse bass.



Martí selected all natural ingredients in making this tribute to the current and historical musical resources of the Washington area. Not only was the musical roster home-grown, so was the studio (BIAS), production team, engineer (Grammy Award winner JIM ROBESON). GOOFIN RECORDS also approached the DC label of RIPSAW RECORDS as a partner to ensure 100% DC bona fides.




Songwriters with a D.C. area connection include rockabillies TEX RUBINOWITZ, JANIS MARTIN, and SEAN MENCHER, BILL KIRCHEN and his wife LOUISE, as well as Baltimore‟s honky-tonkin‟ ARTY HILL and Virginia‟s Austin, Texas

transplant and long-time Marti songwriter, TERI JOYCE. MARTÍ also gives her signature spin to tunes popularized by Winchester‟s PATSY CLINE, rhythm and blues hall of famer RUTH BROWN, rockabilly/punk rocker MARTHA HULL, bluegrass hall of famer BILL HARRELL, and legendary Baltimore rocker PAT BROWN.

Pete Gage - Tough Talk
A STUNNING NEW ALBUM BY PETE GAGE - "TOUGH TALK" IS OUT NOW!
ALSO FEATURES LEGENDARY GYPIE MAY0 ON GUITAR!

Pete Gage, who was born in Paddington London in February 1946, is a multitalented
and charismatic artist. He has a stunning, deep and rich voice, and he's also a very
capable piano and harmonica player. Here we have a real bluesman, whose
interpretations are always full of feeling and are coming straight from the heart
and guts.
His music chorea started already in the mid 60's. Semi-legendary band called The
Sloane Squares had already earned a cult status with their raging live shows, when
ex-Shadows bass player Jet Harris hired them as his band. A single by Jet Harris,
"My lady" was released in 1967, and features Pete Gage on vocals. Many will remember
Pete from the 90's, when he was a frontman for Dr Feelgood for five years, and was
taking care of vocal duties for example on their "On the road again" -album. A
couple of solo-albums has been released too, "Give it with a feeling" in 1994, and
piano-blues-album "Out of hours" in 1997. The latter was recorded in Finland, and
released by finnish record company Goofin' Records, and got a very good reviews all
over the world.

Last couple of years Pete Gage has taken it easy in his native region in Frome
England, but still all the time has toured with different line-ups, doing all kinds
of gigs, from small clubs to a big blues-festivals. Mainly in England, but also in
other countries like Spain and Finland. In Finland he has always had a large and
loyal fan base, and is a very much loved and wanted performer especially in all kind
of blues happenings and festivals.

Recording wise things are also happening at the moment. Pete has recorded a brand
new album "Tough Talk" (GRCD 6165) at Juha Takanen's famous Äänistudio in Finland.
It has now been released by famous finnish rootsmusic label Goofin' Records. On the
album Pete is taking care of all vocal duties, he also plays piano throughout the
album, and adds some tasty harmonica on a couple of tracks. Most of songs are new
ones written by artist himself. There's twelve original songs along with three
covers, one of them being the old favorite "Standing at the crossroads" written by
Mickey Jupp, which is given the all time rockin' treatment.

The style is bluesy and very rootsy; blues, rhythm & blues and rock'n'roll are
having an important role all through the record, and also some hints of cajun,
country and jazz are there to spice up the whole thing. "Tough Talk" features a
bunch of best players from the finnish roots scene. Also a legendary english
guitarist Gypie Mayo (ex-Dr Feelgood, ex-Yardbirds) is playing on six tracks.

Goofin' Records proudly presents

JOHNNY SPENCE & DOCTOR'S ORDER: "FULL THROTTLE NO BRAKES" (Goofin'
Records, GRCD 6155)
STUNNING NEWS - A HISTORICAL RELEASE - BRITISH ROCK'N'ROLL SINGER JOHNNY SPENCE
(FROM THE PIRATES) AND FINNISH ROCK'N'ROLL TRIO DOCTOR'S ORDER HAVE MADE AN KILLER
ALBUM TOGETHER!

British rocker Johnny Spence was born in February 1944, and started playing
rock'n'roll already in late 50's. In the early 60's he played bass for Johnny Kidd
and the Pirates for five years. Classic Pirates line-up featuring Johnny Spence on
bass, Mick Green on guitar and Frank Farley on drums played on most of Johnny Kidd's
greatest recordings and hits. They made their first recording on their own (without
Kidd) already in 1964, the single "My babe"/"Casting my spell" (featuring Spence
also on vocals) is ever since considered a classic.
In the mid 70's the classic line-up of the Pirates came back, and very soon got the
reputation of being the greatest and wildest rock'n'roll trio of all time. From that
time we have the saying "never follow the Pirates".
They were unbeatable on stage, and also made some great albums like "Out of their
skulls", "Skull wars", "Happy birthday rock'n'roll" and "Fistful of Dubloons". The
Pirates (with Spence and Green still on board) are still very much active and still
the best rock trio in the world.
During all these years Johnny Spence has also played with various other artists,
for example bass for Jerry Lee Lewis.

Doctor's Order is Finland's finest and toughest rock'n'roll trio, who started in
1998 and ever since has toured and amazed audiences with its hard driving music
and action packed stage shows all over Finland and also in Sweden. So far they
have released six studio albums, which have sold very well and which have got
raving reviews. Last year was band's 10th anniversary, and to celebrate the
occasion the Doc's toured more than ever and released an album "Seleccion Grande"
(Goofin' Records), which was a very fine set of rock'n'roll with some rhythm &
blues flavours with a very big rockin' sound and featured seventeen original
tracks. They also did a special anniversary tour with Johnny Spence as a guest
vocalist.

During last five years The Pirates and Doctor's Order have done quite a few
successful tours together in Finland. Already in 2007 a six track mini-album
"Doctor's Order with Mick Green: "Cutthroat and Dangerous"
(Goofin' Records) was released, Johnny Spence guested on one track.

One thing led to another and here comes the NEWS: Now Johnny and the doctors have
made an album together. Johnny Spence & Doctor's Order:
"Full Throttle No Brakes" features a stunning set of rock'n'roll, rockabilly and
rhythm & blues. The sound is tough, rough and pretty big, or should we say huge
There's 13 tracks, all classic rock'n'roll songs picked for the album by Johnny and
his fellow finnish docs. The kind of songs that have originally been performed by
such artists like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mungo Jerry, Hayden Thompson,
Elvis, Cliff Richard, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Johnny Kidd and others.

"Full Throttle No Brakes" is truely a unique and historical release. The first
solo album ever by Johnny Spence, backed by Doctor's Order. A great rock'n'roll
record indeed!

Jussi Syren And The Groundbreakers - From Vyborg to L.A.
Jussi Syren And The Groundbreakers is one of the hardest working bluegrass
acts
outside of the United States. Their touring schedule takes no backseat to
their US colleagues
and they have an impressive recording catalogue. Besides their native
Finland they have been touring all over Europe and nine US states. Their
recordings have got airplay in 20+ countries. In their homeland they have
taken bluegrass into mainstream: Primetime TV shows, radio playlists,
music charts, rock festivals and even night clubs.

Their sixth album "From Vyborg To L.A." brings forth Syren´s songwriting
abilities.
The novelty type title song about a touring bluegrass band pays musical
homage to the King Of Bluegrass Jimmy Martin.
"Call Of The Big Wind" and "It´s Draggin´ Me Down" show Syren´s ability to
combine tradiotinal and modern elements in a creative way.
"Farmer´s Son" is written by Thomas Blom - a young and talented Swedish
bluegrass songwriter whose material has been recorded by
American top acts such as Kenny And Amanda Smith.

The Groundbreakers four piece unit has been added with special guests such
as
fiddler Kukka Lehto and dobroist Marko Vanhatalo. Jussi Syren´s daughter
Veera sings harmonies
on "The Ghost Of Laura Wilkins". "From Vyborg To L.A." demonstrates the hard
driving, uncompromising
sound of The Groundbreakers. Syren´s rough and gritty vocals and "close to
the bridge"- mandolin picking
along with Tauri Oksala´s smoking banjo are guaranteed to grab the fan. The
rock solid rhythm of J.P. Putkonen´s
guitar and Kari Hella´s bass tie the sound together. The liner notes are
written by Alan Bibey

Little Rachel And The Hogs Of Rhythm - When A Blue Note Turns Red Hot
“It is hard to get any better...The performances – to the bone - have a good, flirty
feeling, but when needed, are also cool or even highly dramatic..."
Pete Hoppula, Blues News Magazine

The appropriately titled record "When A Blue Note Turns Red Hot", is a mixture of
great, classic music styles- from old school Rhythm and Blues or black Rock and
Roll, to a touch of Stax Soul plus Sam Cooke, or even a jazzy Bossa Nova. This is
Little Rachel's third solo record, and the first one with the Hogs of Rhythm. Little
Rachel performed with Timo Tarkela and Harri Saanio of the Hogs at the Green Bay
Rockin 50's Fest in 2005. Soon afterwards, she went to Finland to borrow the entire
band from their regular singer, Dr. Snout (Ari Ahvonen) for several performances. It
was a magical combination from the start, and recording an album together became a
priority. The record was recorded in August of 2008 in Helsinki, Finland, and
released on the Goofin' Records label in May of 2009. It was produced and mixed by
Jyrki Häyrinen- the man behind the Barnshakers' sound. It includes Lester Peabody on
lead guitar, the powerful sax section of Juho Hurskainen and Timo Tarkela, and also
the vocal group, The Relics, on two of the tracks.

The Hogs of Rhythm are virtuosos of old style music- able to play everything from
rock n' roll, to blues, to jazz. They have a true skill and knowledge for how old
style, rockin' rhythm and blues should be played, and they make a powerful union
with the versatile, soulful, rockin' rhythm of the Little Rachel style. She is
little, but she is loud. She sparkles and shines, and her soulful, sexy, sassiness
is complimented by the excitement of the hard-driving, dirty swing that only the
Hogs of Rhythm can provide. There is something for everyone who loves music on this
record. Once you hear the sensational, soulful rhythm and blues of Kansas City and
Helsinki's finest, together- Little Rachel and the Hogs of Rhythm- you will know
just what happens "When A Blue Note Turns Red Hot".

The Pirates - Live In America
AVAILABLE ON CD AND LP !
It was in the 1950s when three young Londoners - Mick Green
(guitar), Johnny Spence (bass and vocals) and Frank Farley (drums) - first
joined forces to form a band. Their first offerings followed the Skiffle
craze (The Wayfaring Strangers) soon it was Rock'n'Roll (Johnny and the Ramrods)

The Pirates got their first big break in the early 1960s when they became the backing band for British rock'n'roll singer Johnny Kidd, who is best known for his big hits like "Shakin' all over", "Please don't touch",
"I'll never get over you" and "Hungry for love". During their years together, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates toured extensively in Britain and Europe (especially in Hamburg), and on several occasions with the Beatles
or Rolling Stones as their warm-up act. On one occasion, Frank the Pirate and Brian Jones had a fistfight after a gig at the famous 100 Club in Oxford Street, London. No need to mention (or should I say munchen?!?) who got beaten!

Johnny Kidd and the Pirates recorded some of the very best British rock'n'roll
and rhythm & blues of that era. The Pirates also made the first recordings on their own without Kidd in 1964. The single "My babe" / "Casting My Spell" featured Spence also on vocals, and is ever since considered a classic.

Tragically, Johnny Kidd was killed in a car-accident in Lancashire in October 7th 1966. He was just 30 years old.

In December 1976 The Pirates featuring Mick, Johnny and Frank returned with a vengeance. A one-off gig was a huge success, wowing the press and fans alike, and so their never-ending tour started. There is a saying in
the music business; "never follow the Pirates!". Anyone who has seen them in action will understand that they were unbeatable on stage, and to follow them was definitely a mission impossible and an artistic suicide.

They also gave the world four stunning albums; "Out Of Their Skulls", "Skull Wars", "Happy Birthday Rock'n'roll" ( or "Hard Ride" if you were American) and "Fistful Of Dubloons", which are also now considered
rock'n'roll classics.

In November 1978 The Pirates took to the road for a four show tour in America, and had a big time there. Everything about the tour was huge; the venues, stages, audiences, limousines, hotel suites, cigars, bars... At
this point the Pirates had been working relentlessly for two more years,
playing hundreds of gigs and somehow finding time to record and release both of the "Skull" albums. So when the call from America came, they were up for it, ready to rock'n'roll and play better than ever. Luckily one of
these legendary gigs was recorded, but it took some 30 years for Johnny Spence to come across the tape from his archive collection.

And for goodness (note: I'm not using the F-word here!) sake here are the merciless threesome, live in America getting even with all guns blazing.
Keeping the Pirate-flag flying high and taking no prisoners. This stunning, long-awaited 16 track set features all of their classic songs, and is undoubtedly one of the greatest live Rock'n'Roll records of all time.
It presents the greatest rock-trio of all time at the peak of their powers and wilder than ever. Pure, tough, hard rockin' and rollin' music delivered in the way only the unholy trinity of Green, Spence and Farley know how.

Nobody does it like the Pirates!
