K Special - VA - 47 Favorites from the Early 60's of the Original Mods! (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) [2019] (2 x CDs)

MOD 60's

K Special -     VA - 47 Favorites from the Early 60's of the Original Mods! (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) [2019] (2 x CDs)

A great slice of early UK mod favorites during the early 60s, this 2CD Japan only release was released in 2019 by Oldays Records: 

https://www.discogs.com/release/15738305-Various-47-Favorites-From-The-Early-60s-Of-The-Original-Mods-60年代モッズが愛した47枚

I decided to improve upon and expand it by adding another 13 mod classics taking the total to 60 tracks to fill the two CDs up to the max, with nothing released after 1966, following the original set timeline.

CD1: Tracks 1-30 Time: 78:07

CD2: Tracks 1-30 Time: 79:39

This fully packed 2CD set contains many rare and extremely hard to find tracks, with many featured in their original mono 7" 45 single form. Only the original studio mixes are included. No later remixes, 'stereo enhanced' or live versions here! 

Contains a considerable amount of tracks not featured on: The In Crowd - The Ultimate Mod Collection from the Original Style Movement (20th Anniversary Remastered Expanded Super Deluxe Edition) (11CD) (2021). Coming Soon...

Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with many of the tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment.

Enjoy!

  4. Pretty good Mod primer. Plenty of Mod Standards included to listen to but there again being a Japanese release you'd expect it to be 100% authentic. Japanese Mods are very cool too. Cheers
