By all accounts, Rare Mod 1 (pictured above) did brisk business and certainly was well received, so we have high hopes for the follow-up, Rare Mod Volume 2.
Again a result of trawling the vintage archives, it packs in everything from obscure Brit soul (Donnie Elbert Band and Mac Kissoon), R&B (C Jam Blues, Parker's Mood and the Gass Company), early psych (The Nocturnes, The Amboy Dukes, The Summer Set) and of course, mod classics (Fleur de Lys and Richard Kent Style). 19 tracks in total.
With sleevenotes from Paul 'Smiler' Anderson and Damian Jones, Rare Mod 2 is available from 16th November 2009 on CD and a very limited LP from Acid Jazz – just 500 copies. Look out for our review well in advance of that date.
