• 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."
