This nice article served for me to google a bit: The Nervous Breakdown - Shakin' All Over connection is intriguing. Great song by the way, and yeah they're so close. I didn't find a thing about that but at least it served me to discover that Nick Simper, the original Deep Purple bass player was a member of Johnny Kidd and The Pirates. All is connected, or hyperlinked I should say these days.
