Mod, you can’t live with it, you can’t live without it! – whilst this extraordinarily resilient youth culture continues to defy the natural laws of science and quietly die, unnoticed in some dingy corner of a Soho alley, it is again reborn, embraced by a new generation of British youth – the thirst for original mod iconography, history and music has never been greater, so Acid Jazz records prepare for the release of their third instalment of the evergreen RARE MOD series…Think Nuggets or Pebbles – compilations that were crafted with care.

Volume 3 sees the best collection yet – some of the finest underground mod, rhythm and blues and beat bands of the sixties, all digging out those unreleased acetates from on top of wardrobes, suitcases in the attic and in some cases, unheard studio master-tapes. Familiar names like The Creation and John’s Children with alternate takes of both Life Is Just Beginning and Desdemona (which features some previously unheard Marc Bolan vocals). Lesser lights such as The Iveys, The Preachers (featuring a young Peter Frampton), Gary Brooker (later of Procul Harum) and St Louis Union contribute amazingly rare material – there’s British soul from Goldie & The Gingerbreads, Kenny Bernard & The Wranglers (who boasted a young David Bowie on saxophone as part of their early line-up) and Andee Silver, psych from The Montanas and Dave & The Diamonds (up there with anything on the original Nuggets release!), R&B from Sean Buckley & The Breadcrumbs or Derry Wilkie & The Pressmen. In true RARE MOD style, there’s even an unidentified original acetate called Pink, Purple And Blue – answers on a postcard to AJ HQ if anyone recognizes the vocals!!!

Lovingly compiled by authors Paul ‘Smiler’ Anderson and Damian Jones and with extensive and highly detailed sleevenotes.
