UK collection, a thrilling installment in the much lauded Decca Records archival Scene series that focuses on the label's diverse and influential '60s catalog. This compilation features 25 rare and influential that helped shape the Mod scene. Mixing rock, blues and soul with electrifying energy, the 'mods' were sharply dressed and ready to take their sounds to the streets and were warmly embraced by the music-obsessed 'mod' fans. Includes tracks from Tom Jones, Paul & Barry Ryan, the Poets, Amen Corner, Small Faces, Chris Farlow, Graham "10cc" Gouldman, Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, Graham Bond Orchestra and many others. Universal. 2003.

classic 60’s mod dancers.
60’s groovers and organ grinders. A very hip and happy CD.

Fun Compilation of Obscure '60s Tunes
Other than yet another version of "Walking the Dog," this is a fabulous compilation. Some upbeat tunes. Some bluesier numbers. I love that the majority of the artists on this compilation are obscure. My collection is complete enough at this point that if it is well know, I probably already have it. Favorites include "Stop! Stop! Stop!" by Graham Gouldman, "If Your Love Don't Swing" by Pete Kelly's Soulution, and "We Don't Know" by The Attack.

A very good reminiscing catalogue.
I grew up during this period in Europe. It was a good dance scene. Fond memories were elicited with the first listen. I will probably listen again someday.

Fine addition to the series
Like the others in the series, there are a few 'over-comped' tracks but it's nice to have Pete Kelly's Solution, Habits and others. Fine booklet as usual.

Interesting compilation
As with many compilations featuring largely unknown artists this is a good listen for anyone who's heart lay in sixties culture. One to dust down and put on at dinner parties rather than listen to all the time.Worth buying at the right price.
