English Freakbeat, Volume 6 is a compilation album in the English Freakbeat series, featuring recordings that were released decades earlier, in the mid-1960’s. Unlike the other albums in the series, this volume was released as a CD only. However, this album features many of the songs that were previously released on the Pebbles, Volume 6 LP. Subtitled The Roots of Mod, Volume 6 is the only album in the Pebbles series that features primarily British music.

That English Freakbeat, Volume 6 and the Pebbles, Volume 6 LP have the same volume number does not appear to be a coincidence. In fact, this earlier Pebbles album probably gave AIP Records the idea to release additional albums of mid-1960’s British songs, both as to the style of recordings and also as to the length of the English Freakbeat series, so that the volume numbers would line up.

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 as English Freakbeat, Volume 6. In this case, two excellent covers on the LP are not included on the CD: “Leave My Kitten Alone” by the First Gear and the Bo Diddley classic, “Here ‘Tis” by the Betterdays. Additionally, “Singing the Blues” by the Rats is omitted, though the Jason Eddie & the Centremen performance of this song is included on the CD in place of their song on the LP.

Notes on the Tracks

---

“Leave My Kitten Alone” is a celebrated Beatles rarity, written by Little Willie John, 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 include Mick Fleetwood, co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, as well as Peter Bardens and Phil Sawyer. They released several singles between 1963 and 1965.

The real name of the front man for Jason Eddie and the Centremen is Al Wycherley, the brother of Billy Fury, a pop star in the late 1950’s. Their experimental treatment of “Singing the Blues” was released in the U.S. by Capitol Records in June 1966.

The music by Bo and Peep was recorded in 1964, and the band is mainly the Rolling Stones plus others that might have included Gene Pitney and Phil Spector; this is an unexpectedly tuff treatment of the well known ballad.
