If you haven’t paid much attention to the series in the past, then you probably want The Best Of Rare Mod Box Set in your collection.

Released by Acid Jazz, this is a three-CD set commemorating 10 years of the series, which focuses on rare and previously unreleased masterpieces from the 1960s.

Artists featured include David Bowie with the Riot Squad, Sharon Tandy, The Fleur De Lys, The Artwoods, Jimmy James & The Vagabonds, Geno Washington & The Muleskinners (featuring Ian McLagan) to name just a few.

The set has been compiled by Rare Mod overlord Richard Searle and comes with a 24-page booklet complete with in-depth sleeve notes explaining the genesis of the series and the tracks themselves.

For a three-disc set, sounds decent value at £15.34 too. Track listing below and the shelf date is 26th May 2017. You can, of course, pre-order now.
