60's MOD

VA - I Love to See You Strut, More 60s Mod, R&B, Brit Soul & Freakbeat Nuggets [2022] (3 x CDs)

With 85 tracks spread out over three discs, Love to See You Strut offers hours of mod-adjacent sounds from the 1960s, with inclusions from some of the best-known bands of the time and far more obscure acts alike. The compilation is divided into three areas of specific focus. The first disc collects 29 tracks from R&B/beat bands who got steady airplay in the early-to-mid-'60s club scene. This includes a pre-prog version of the Moody Blues, Dusty Springfield, Midwestern soul sensation Geno Washington, an instrumental organ workout on "Turn On Your Lovelight" by Wynder K Frog, tunes from Manfred Mann, previously unreleased tracks from beat acts the SW4 and the Trendbender Band, and many other songs designed for dancing and swinging. Disc two progresses more into the mod era, with familiar names like the Who, the Kinks, Small Faces, and the Zombies showing up alongside less celebrated mod artists like the Profile and the Uprooted. Things get fierier as the compilation goes on, with the third segment showcasing increasingly psychedelic and far-out tracks from the Action, pre-T. Rex act John's Children, Spooky Tooth, the Creation, and so much more. Love to See You Strut offers a more-than-adequate starting point for anyone looking for an overview of how early beat music got freakier and freakier as the beat went on, with enough rarities for the well-versed and enough all-time classics for beginners.
