Note: The Renegades on Dorset Records ("Stolen Angel" / "Keep Laughin'", #5007, 1961) and Garland Records ("I'm A Loner" / "Travelin' Through This Countryside", #2036, 196?), The Rangers on FTP Records ("Four On The Floor" / "Riders In The Sky", #404, 1961), The Sunrays on Warner Bros. Records ("Talk To Him" / "Gideon", #5253, 1962), The Snowmen on Roulette Records ("Sugar Daddy" / "My Girl Left Me", #4578, 1964), and The Renegades V on Dubonay Records ("Wine, Wine, Wine" / "Love And Fury", #982, 1965) are different groups than above. The Renegades led by Eddy Medora is also not to be confused with Birmingham-based merseybeat group The Renegades (two US releases on Congress and Karate labels in 1965-66).

In addition, The Renegades on American International A-45-536/7 ("Geronimo" / "Charge"; released 6/1959) doesn't feature Eddy Medora or any other his band mates (but instead, Richie Podolor:bs/gtr, Bruce Johnston:pno and Sandy Nelson:dms), although these sides (from the American International Picture "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow" a.k.a. "Haunted Hot Rod") are produced by Kim Fowley who collaborated with Medora's group on all their 1963-64 Challenge recordings, and although it's often documented that Medora's Renegades was indeed formed when he was in 8th grade (c. 1959). "Geronimo" has been reissued on compilations Wa-Chick-Ka-Nocka (Buffalo Bop BB-CD 55011, 1993 GER), Strummin' Mental, Part One (Crypt 6501, 1998 GER) & Rare Instrumentals, Vol.9 (Era Records ERA-109, 2006 CAN), and "Charge" on Killer Dillas, Vol.3 (Big Rumble LP F 102), Strummin' Mental, Part One (Crypt 6501, 1998 GER), Impossible But True - The Kim Fowley Story (Ace CDCHD 888, 2003 UK) & Strictly Instrumental, Vol.9 (Buffalo Bop BB-CD 55174, 2005 GER).

The most established Renegades/Snowmen/Rangers line-up,along with Medora (lead vocals/lead guitar/saxophone), consisted of Chris Gordon (rhythm guitar), Marty DiGiovanni (piano/keyboards), Byron Case (bass) and Dave Holt (drums). The Sunrays were Eddy Medora (lead vocals/guitar), Byron Case or Steve O'Riley (guitar/vocals), Marty DiGiovanni (piano/keyboards), Vince Hozier (bass/vocals) and Richard (Rick/Rickey) Henn (drums/vocals) sometimes added with various professional musicians such as Glen Campbell (guitar), Carol Kaye (bass) and Hal Blaine (drums) on recording sessions.
