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 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, along with one of the very best songs by the celebrated Irish rock band, the Wheels, called “Road Block“. 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

---

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 British rhythm & 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, 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 1950s. 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.
