>>Also it's not new and old. It's the  PIrates 3rd session as well and 
they went back a lot further than Frankie  Miller.<<

 
 
True, but they'd got something of a second wind as  they'd gatecrashed the 
pre-punk pub-rock scene. Effectively they were a "new"  band playing hard R&B 
like Dr Feelgood.
 
The background, basically is this: they were a 60s beat combo called Johnny  
Kidd and the Pirates. Big hits including Shakin' all Over. Kidd was killed  in 
a car crash in 1967, and the band fizzled out. The reformed band started in  
1976 as a 3-piece fronted by original guitarist Mick Green, who'd been a top  
session man in the interim, along with other original members.
