This is amazing value. Although you might have to do a bit of cross referencing before picking up Mod: The Collection.
I know not a great name, but this four-disc collection from Rhino packs in 100 tracks – and little filler. But one thing to consider. Rhino has recently released Mod Anthems 1 and Mod Anthems 2 (plus the vinyl version), with some crossover with both those sets.
But regardless of that, 100 classics from the vault for just £7.04 is still a massively good deal. If you want a soul starter pack (and a bit more), look no further.
Track listing below, with the box available to pre-order now ahead of the 2nd June release for that £7.04 price.
