Description
The MOD scene evolved on the cusp of the sixties as Britain was emerging from the postwar blues. depression and carved a place for themselves that was filled with good-times, danceable rhythms, sharp suits and an air of elitism. And those rhythms immortalised here were a heady, dazzling, mix of American R&B, jump blues, jazzy lounge vibes and the feel-good, floor- shaking, sound of ska! Mod has moved on since its early days, but the fact it has survived at all suggests that at its heart was something special, something akin to a philosophy that could and would last throughout decades and into the future. It has endured and thrived with its cool, self-regard, unscathed and these choice cuts are still sounding great. Features Moses Davis, Jerry Fuller, Wilbert Harrison, Alton Ellis And The Flames, The Olympics, Desmond Dekker And The Four Aces, and more.
