Although test pressings exist (on Rainbo Records) that were made in the same time period as the other LP’s (1989), English Freakbeat, Volume 5 was evidently not released as an LP by AIP Records until 1992 (as #AIP-10049). On the other hand, this is the second volume in the series to be released as a CD, in 1993 (as #AIP-CD-1049).

Vinyl-Only Tracks and CD Bonus Tracks

---

The English Freakbeat LP’s and CD’s have most tracks in common, although not always in the same order. In most cases, some of the LP tracks were not included on the CD’s. Also, the CD bonus tracks are not always at the end of the album. English Freakbeat, Volume 5 is the only album in the series that has been released in the conventional way, with all of the tracks on the LP given in the same order on the CD, with the bonus tracks at the end. Nevertheless, for consistency with the other articles, we have shown track listings for both editions of the album.

Notes on the Tracks

---

Pete Best of course is the drummer for the Beatles who was unceremoniously fired in August 1962 in favor of Ringo Starr. His recording and touring efforts in the 1960’s met with only limited success.

A later rendition of “Why Must They Criticise” by the In Crowd is given on English Freakbeat, Volume 3, and another track by that band is included on English Freakbeat, Volume 4. The Four + 1 (no relation to Unit 4 + 2) is an earlier line-up of this band, who would eventually become Tomorrow.

Not to be confused with the American band the Cryan Shames, the recordings by the Cryin’ Shames were produced by Joe Meek, as were the four singles by Geoff Goddard as a solo artist. That’s Goddard on keyboards on the classic instrumental “Telstar” by the Tornados; he also had considerable success as a songwriter.

An unusual number by Billy J. Kramer‘s frequent backing band, the Dakotas (who may or may not be behind him on “Chinese Girl“) is given on English Freakbeat, Volume 3.

Two different songs by Jason Eddie and the Centremen are given on each of the Pebbles, Volume 6 LP and the English Freakbeat, Volume 6 CD, though not both.

The song by Thane Russal is from his second single; another song, from his first single (using the name Thane Russal and Three) is given on English Freakbeat, Volume 4.
