The album delves deep into the British Mod scene of the 1960s. Featuring a selection of classic and rare tracks that trace the scene from its R&B roots to a soulful finale. Curated by Eddie Piller, founder of Acid Jazz Records and Modcast, and with new notes from Paul 'Smiler' Anderson, a respected author and broadcaster.
As Eddie Piller points out in the foreword to the extensive cover notes for this collection, he chose the word "sounds" carefully to reflect the diversity of talent included here, from uncool session musicians without a hint of style, to acts who saw an opportunity to jump on the mod bandwagon, to bands who embraced the mod lifestyle wholeheartedly.
