Various Artists - The Best Of Rare Mod

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 captured the sound of the original Mod scene: hard R&B, Beat & Soul, and archetypal Pop from the 1960s.

For the first time, ‘The Best Of Rare Mod’ is available on vinyl, with choice selections from across the series, presented in a hip, evocative sleeve with printed inner and pressed on orange transparent vinyl.

The tracklist contains a couple of songs 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.
