UK collection, a thrilling installment in the much lauded Decca Records archival Scene series that focuses on the label's diverse and influential '60s catalog. This compilation features 25 rare and influential that helped shape the Mod scene. Mixing rock, blues and soul with electrifying energy, the 'mods' were sharply dressed and ready to take their sounds to the streets and were warmly embraced by the music-obsessed 'mod' fans. Includes tracks from Tom Jones, Paul & Barry Ryan, the Poets, Amen Corner, Small Faces, Chris Farlow, Graham "10cc" Gouldman, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, Graham Bond Orchestra and many others. Universal. 2003.
Other than yet another version of "Walking the Dog," this is a fabulous compilation. Some upbeat tunes. Some bluesier numbers. I love that the majority of the artists on this compilation are obscure. My collection is complete enough at this point that if it is well know, I probably already have it. Favorites include "Stop! Stop! Stop!" by Graham Gouldman, "If Your Love Don't Swing" by Pete Kelly's Soulution, and "We Don't Know" by The Attack.
