[edit] Release Data

The album was released in 1980 by BFD Records (as #BFD-5023) and was kept in print for many years by AIP 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.

[edit] 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 of the coolest songs on the LP are not included on the CD: "Leave My Kitten Alone" by the First Gear and a fine cover of the Bo Diddley classic, "Here 'Tis". 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.

[edit] Notes on the Tracks

Twink was 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 that is one of the standout tracks on the first Beatles Anthology collection. The final cut on the CD is a rambling recitation by Kim Fowley about a British coastal resort town, which is performed more or less to the tune of House of the Rising Sun.
