USA MOD, SOUL and GARAGE

VA - Looking Stateside, 80 US R&B, Mod, Soul & Garage Nuggets [2016] (3 x CD's)

Fourth collection in the highly successful LOOKING… series.  The series now takes a trip to the US of A, sixties style for its latest theme. The latest 'Looking' set travels from uptempo R&B and Early Soul to Garage Punk, Northern, Frat Rock, Proto-Psych and wild instro's. This UK 3 x CD collection  pays homage to American mod music from the 60's. Many of the tracks here are drawn from the prestigious back catalogs of Challenge, Scepter/Wand, Etiquette, Swan, Shell, and Select, and a large number of those new to CD

These CD's are loosely themed, Looking Stateside goes back to the roots of the Mod scene on CD1. From the opening bars of Georgia Lynn's 'Sugar Shack Queen', these are the sounds you might have heard down at The Scene Club in London's Ham Yard (had Guy Stevens or other DJs have owned these tunes on import). Willie Jones is still treading the boards to this day; indeed, he issued a new album on RPM's sister label Shout a couple of years back. CD2 offers a superb cross-section of mid-Sixties soul, from familiar classicsto more obscure fare and a whole lotta quality in between. CD3 is launched with a hail of buzzsaw fuzz guitar and snotty vocals,  and the pace rarely lets up thereafter. Again, the compilers have married bona fide garage punk classics with a clutch of tracks new to CD and others which have eluded compilations of this sort. (Amazon)
