about

The ‘Rare Mod’ series has been one of the most enduring Acid Jazz- curated comps of recent years. This included the CD Volumes 1-3 and a 3CD Boxset, uncovering a host of lost classics that capture sound of the original Mod scene: Hard R’n’B, Beat & Soul, and archetypal Pop from the 1960s.

Set for release on 17 May, for the first time the 'Best Of…' is available on vinyl, with choice selections from across the series, presented in a hip, evocative sleeve, with printed inner, and on orange transparent vinyl.

With the first side leaning towards Freakbeat and the second towards Soul, the tracklist contains tracks from the legendary Fleur De Lys, as well as a track from their brief billing as ‘Shyster’. Elsewhere, there are several productions from unsung hero and prolific session man Graham Dee, and even a turn from young David Bowie performing with The Riot Squad!

An absolute must-have collection of the less-heard tracks from one of the most iconic periods of British music.

Hoping the rest of the album is as uplifting as this. And aimed at the dancefloor not the armchair. Keep up the tempo and Latin soul vibe. tmg501
