Description
Ten killer tracks each by Johnny Kid & The Pirates, Joe Brown & His Bruvvers, and Vince Taylor & The Playboys, all of whom were perhaps the last genuine British rockers of the pre-Beatles era.
Kidd, Brown and Taylor differed from their mainstream pop contemporaries in that their prime fan base was young blokes rather than young girls, the attraction being the lead guitarists and the hard-edged music.
This unusual 30 track compilation effectively acts as a "Very Best Of" all three artists, for example: Kidd's: "Shakin' All Over"; "Please Don't Touch"; "Restless"; "Shot Of Rhythm & Blues". Brown's: "Picture of You"; "It Only Took a Minute"; "Darktown Strutters Ball"; "Shine". Taylor's: "Brand New Cadillac"; "Jet Black Machine"; "Right Behind You Baby"; "Move Over Tiger" and more!
Alongside Joe Brown, other featured guitarists include: Joe Moretti, Tony Sheridan, Big Jim Sullivan, Mick Green, Tony Harvey and Alan Caddy.
