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.

Back when Kate Bush was recording some of her best work!

Gee, you don't have to play Kate Bush loud to hear that she is the ultimate.
