The album was released in 1980 by
BFD Records (as #BFD-5023) and was kept in print for many years byAIP Records .Although the "Pebbles, Volume 6" CD has completely different music, most of the tracks on this album were reissued in 1996 on CD by
AIP Records as "English Freakbeat, Volume 6 ". For convenience, information on this CD is also included so that a comparison can be easily made between the tracks on these two highly similar albums.Omitted Tracks on the English Freakbeat CD
As with the first five volumes of the
Pebbles series ,AIP Records omitted some tracks on the LP in the reissue of the album asEnglish Freakbeat, Volume 6 . In this case, two excellent covers on the LP are not included on the CD: "Leave My Kitten Alone" bythe First Gear and theBo Diddley classic, "Here 'Tis" bythe Betterdays . Additionally, "Singing the Blues" by the Rats is omitted, though theJason Eddie & the Centremen performance of this song is included on the CD in place of their song on the LP.Notes on the Tracks
The following information was taken primarily from the liner notes on "
English Freakbeat, Volume 6 ". Twink was one of the members of the Fairies, an under-appreciated Britishrhythm & blues band; Twink would later be one of the founding members of a very different band,the Pink Fairies ."Leave My Kitten Alone" is a celebrated Beatles rarity that is one of the standout tracks on the first Beatles Anthology collection. This version of the song was released in 1964 and features a young
Jimmy Page .Members of
the Cheynes includeMick Fleetwood , co-founder ofFleetwood Mac , as well asPeter Bardens andPhil Sawyer . They released several singles between 1963 and 1965.The real name of the front man for
Jason Eddie and the Centremen isAl Wycherley , the brother ofBilly Fury , a pop star in the late 1950's. Their experimental treatment of "Singing the Blues" was released in the U.S. byCapitol Records in June 1966.The music by
Bo and Peep was recorded in 1964, and the band is mainly theRolling Stones plus others that might have includedGene Pitney andPhil Spector ; this is an unexpectedly tuff treatment of the well known ballad.Track listing
