The Pirates - Don't Munchen It! (rec. 1977-1978, RPM release 1993)

Johnny Kidd and The Pirates are best remembered for their manic original version of "Shakin' All Over", way ahead of its time back in 1960. The theatrical Kidd (ne Freddie Heath) was tragically killed in a 1966 car crash. Ten years later, the best known Pirates (known as "Pirates #3 to the cognoscenti) reformed in 1976. It is this trio, Mick Green, Johnny Spence and Frank "All By Myself" Farley, that delivers this hard rocking live album, gathered from several different shows over a two year period. They would break up in 1983, although other Pirates sailed on under the same flag with mixed results.

Spotify has this album with half of the same songs but the sound quality is significantly worse, making the original RPM CD a treasure well worth finding.

on the Sam-O-Meter for the RPM version.

What next, Joy Division?

Edit: if you really want to lighten the mood, you could play some pseudo-Pink Floyd. They could never get as depressing without Roger.

So true. Of course I could always queue up some solo Roger.

I'm listening to this obscure record due to being name-checked by Dave Thomas of Pere Ubu.

Edit: OK, this is easily .

Every time Son Volt comes up on an auto-playlist I stop and note how much I enjoy it. It's time to listen to an actual entire album.

More Son Volt





The gentle, somber timbre of the Son Volt style is very pleasant. The lyrics are well written. I'm enjoying these.
