The Who and the Small Faces were the mod chart-toppers of the sixties. However, there were lots of groups that didn't have a hit but represented better the sounds of the club scene, and these bands are the stars of this compilation which collects 25 tracks from the Decca vaults.
In 'The Mod Scene' you can find the Small Faces, but in their Booker T and the MG's mode (the instrumental "Grow Your Own"), because every track here is influenced by American soul and jazzy R&B, the favourite styles in the original mod scene. None of the sides featured here was a best seller, but almost all of them are desired collector items and floorpackers in any respectable mod club, like the incredibly groovy 'Bert's Appel Crumble' that opens the set, the ultra-cool 'Maker Her Mine' by the Hipster Image (the inclusion of that track justifies the compilation) or the Sam Cookesque effort by Chris Farlowe ('Air Travel') and the roaring soul number by Tom Jones ('Dr. Love').
Apart from that, the sound is excellent and the liner notes very interesting. A real bargain that can't be missed.

This is a good collection of songs from a few short years in the '60's. While some of the artistes went on to bigger things -Small Faces, Zoot Money, Tom Jones many are here to be rediscovered more than four decades after their time in the spotlight. The songs on this C.D. are evocative of the time and create a feeling of how exciting the music and the "Mod" movement must have been.
This is a collection that is very easy to enjoy. It's great value so buy it, find an hour or two (it's 64 mins long), pour yourself a drink and enjoy the music, after all it's not going to happen again!

A great selection of tunes, from bands such as Graham Bond Organisation and Small Faces, and lesser known groups, too. This is a mod version of the infamous "getting ready to go out" CD! It really gets you in the mood. Good listening for anyone new to the scene, too.

Again, no track listing. It may well be the best earth sahattering comp album in the whole of the known universe but without a track listing I still won't buy it. Read more

mixed bag
Some are awful, some are just listenable, and there a couple real winners. But the production quality is very high, of course, and everyone can play their instruments very well. Read more
