• The complete recordings by Manchester beat group Freddie And The Dreamers for EMI
in the 1960s compiled and annotated by respected author and pop historian Bob Stanley
of St. Etienne.
• Includes the UK Top 10 hits ‘If You Want To Make A Fool Of Somebody’ (#3), ‘I’m Tellin’
You Now’ (#2), ‘You Were Made For Me’ (#3) and ‘I Understand’ (#5) and all their albums
including their UK Top 5 self-titled debut.
• The band were also loved in the USA where they were part of the “British Invasion”, ‘I’m
Tellin’ You Now’ topped The Billboard Hot 100 and they reached the Top 20 with ‘Do The
Freddie’.
• Two albums, Sing-Along Party (1965) and what Bob Stanley refers to as a “psychedelic
pop primer for kids” Oliver In The Overworld (1970) are issued on CD for the first time
plus another makes its debut on CD in the UK, King Freddie And His Dreaming Knights
(1967).
Bob Stanley writes in the the box's booklet notes that:
"Freddie & The Dreamers were the jokers in the pack of the British beat boom, or what
America knew as the British Invasion. They were a great visual act and, especially, a
conduit for children who may have loved The Beatles too but wanted someone of their
own. TV shows like Crackerjack and Blue Peter were happy to invite them on, and gave
them a ready-made audience. The Monkees may have been tagged the Pre-Fab Four, but
there’s little doubt some of their zaniness sprung from the on-stage antics of Freddie
Garrity and the group’s candy beat, proto-bubblegum music."
