This box set is beautifully packaged with a detailed booklet with lots of information about each release featured in it. The box set is like a small hardback book with lovely discs enclosed which brings me to the music. Firstly, nearly all of this music is new to me apart from New Hearts, Secret Affair, The Merton Parkas, The Chords and Purple Hearts songs. Other recordings featured simply are energetic and exciting to these ears. But why is that? Well it can't be cause I'm a mod and it's not cause I want to be, but the music has that punk/new wave element fused with sixties stylings in places. The nearest comparison I can make is power pop and I'm a lover of that genre.
Anyway, this box set is a must for any lover of biting commercial music with a rough edge. The songs are catchy as hell and the music has been remastered. Sure there are rough patches here and there but this music is a blast from the past, so it's expected. But don't let that put you off. This is the raw deal and it is admirable. Thank you Cherry Red Recordings for unveiling. Enjoy.
That said, it's great that the music of the Mod Revival is getting another airing and the songs on here are a brilliant cross section of what I listened to then and still listen to now. I, and I'm sure everyone else of a Mod persuasion, could go on forever about the songs that should have been included on this compilation (This Working Way by The Way Out immediately springs to mind - one of the best songs of the 80's revival) but let's be grateful for what we have here - pure gold.
This all brings back great memories of being one of a handful of Mods keeping the faith in Sunderland during that time.
Buy this compilation and keep the flame burning.
I was a bit worried that a lot of the 1979 tracks would sound to punky. Which isn't a problem but it doesn't. A lot of it still sounds great today. There are some naff tracks but on an album with a 100 tracks on that's no surprise. Some of it brought a nostalgic tear to the eye.
Overall package looks great. It looks like a small book. If you like mod all be it revival power pop or just the genre in general this is for you.
A brilliant box set with not just the big players on here ie secret affair, purple hearts, the chords but some of my favourites from that era ie Qtips, Nine below Zero, the Truth a lot of very good one off singles from bands that appeared albeit briefly but left some great music.
Get out the clarks desert boots, the boating blazer, the skin tight levis and enjoy, you will not buy (or hear ) a better compilation this year !
