English Freakbeat, Volume 5

Release data

Although test pressings exist (on Rainbo Records) that were made in the same time period as the other LPs (1989), the album was evidently not released as an LP by AIP Records until 1992 (as #AIP-10049). On the other hand, this is the second volume in the series to be released as a CD, in 1993 (as #AIP-CD-1049).

Vinyl-only tracks and CD bonus tracks

The English Freakbeat LPs and CDs have most tracks in common, although not always in the same order. In most cases, some of the LP tracks were not included on the CDs. Also, the CD bonus tracks are not always at the end of the album. This is the only album in the series that has been released in the conventional way, with all of the tracks on the LP given in the same order on the CD, with the bonus tracks at the end. Nevertheless, for consistency with the other articles, we have shown track listings for both editions of the album.
