Editorial Reviews

Full title: Rockin' With The Pirates: Big Hits, Classic Tracks & Lost Gems From The Golden Era Of Off-Shore Radio. UK three CD set that celebrates the glory days of off-shore pirate radio stations. It's the mid 1960's, arguably the finest era in British Music, and while the USA enjoys over 500 radio stations blasting the latest sounds coast to coast, in the UK the BBC plays just two hours of Rock 'N' Roll a week. This is Great Britain pre-Radio 1, and to get their Rock 'N' Roll fix, over half the population, some 25 million people are tuning into the new breed of offshore pirate radio everyday. Rockin' With The Pirates is an amazing triple CD collection featuring 75 big hits, classic tracks and lost gems from the heady pirate radio days of 1965 - 67. Includes classics hits from Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, Jeff Beck, Manfred Mann, The Animals, Brian Wilson, Garnet Mimms, Herbie Goins & The Nightimers, The Fortunes and many others. EMI. 2009.
