The Pirates: Out of their Skulls This 1977 album marked the return of the Pirates, who were responsible for the sixties classic "Shakin' All Over", later covered by those crazy Canadians the Guess Who, and still later by the real Who on "Live at Leeds". The idea seems to be that when punk exploded in 1977, the Pirates had to get back together, because they were doing the punk music a decade earlier. In 1977, they still sound great. It sounds like the seventies never happened for them, thankfully. This is authentic sixties high-energy metal rockabilly. Side one is studio, side two live, but except for crowd noises, the band sounds wonderful either way. I recommend playing this at high volume repeatedly.

Gee, you don't have to play Kate Bush loud to hear that she is the ultimate. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
