Zany Manchester pop group Freddie & The Dreamers achieved their only UK album success with their self titled debut LP. Includes the top five UK singles If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Someone and I Understand. Despite their sometimes clownish image, Freddie & The Dreamers released many melodic pop songs, best heard on the several compilation CDs currently available. (UK:5)
"On their first release, 1963's If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody, Freddie affects a Buddy Holly type twang, rather than showcasing his northern English accent, which most other northern groups did."
"If you're really interested in 60s melodic beat then this is a great way to take a deeper look into the music of these crazy guys."
"Freddie & The Dreamers were just that little bit different, a really fun group that entertained as well as performed."
"Freddie produced some absolute gems, brilliant examples of light hearted and easy to listen to 60s pop."
"There are some great rock 'n' rollers, especially a great version of Money."
"The legacy of Freddie & The Dreamers is a collection of feel-good songs guaranteed to raise a smile."
"Freddie & The Dreamers are one of the groups that put the fun in rock & roll and deserve to be better known today."
