VA - Our Generation, 75 Mod Classics a Way of Life [2015] (3 x CD's)

This is a fantastic 3 x CD set, the set folds out to a very nice tri disc tray for all discs to fit perfectly, great remastering to, disc one kicks off with the obligatory 1965 mod anthem "M Generation" and it goes from there, with a great mix of artists and some forgotten classics. Included here ae 75 Tracks, original 1960's-1970's-1980's Beat, R&B, Soul, Ska and Pop masters. This set suitable to enhance any existing Mod/Northern soul collection or great for anyone starting out with their collection. (Amazon)

  4. Here in the States, it's Labor Day weekend, in which labor is celebrated by avoiding it as much as possible, and this set is a soundtrack deluxe for my excesses, barbeque and liquids of all sorts. Thanks for the music!
