The MOD scene evolved on the cusp of the sixties as Britain was emerging from the postwar blues. Likeminded teenagers shrugged off the economic 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 – sounding every bit as urgent today – are testament to its longevity.
