The Best of Rare Mod (Various Artists)

The Rare Mod Series has been one of the most enduring Acid Jazz curated compilations of recent years, uncovering a host of lost classics that capture the sound of the original Mod scene of the 1960s. For the first time, the 'Best Of' is available on vinyl, with choice selections from across the series, presented in a hip, evocative sleeve, with printed inner, and on orange transparent vinyl. The track-list contains two tracks from the legendary Fleur de Lys, as well as a track from their brief billing as Shyster. Elsewhere, there are several productions from unsung hero and prolific session man Graham Dee, and even a turn from young David Bowie performing with The Riot Squad. An absolute must-have collection of the less-heard tracks from one of the most iconic periods of British music.
