The original Looking Back box set in late 2011 was an absolute corker, so we’re very pleased to hear about the second instalment, currently going by the name of Keep Lookin’ – Another 80 Mod, Soul and Freakbeat Nuggets and released once again by RPM.

When we first mentioned this, we didn’t have a specific release date. But now, thanks to a certain online retailer, we know the box set will be arriving on 30th June 2014. You can pre-order now if you want to plan ahead.

What does the box set offer? Essentially more of the same – which is no bad thing. We’ve been told that there are some rare and previously unissued Planet Records tunes, 10 tunes from the Sparks catalogue, some Australian freakbeat direct from the master tapes and some New Zealand rarities too. Oh yes, not to mention a smattering of lost 1960s gems from more familiar names.

We have got a provisional tracklsting below. It’s not in order, but it gives you an idea of just what will be coming out at the end of June. If you want to pre-order, the 80-track box set is selling for £21.16.
