MOD FAVE RAVES Vols. 1 & 2

Scootering has been an integral part of the Mod Scene since the beginning up to the present and with the Mod Scene comes the essential soundtrack of the movement. The original Mods of the late 50s and early 60s England were into Modern Jazz , American R&B, some Jamaican Ska and Soul by way of Tamla Motown, Stax and Chess labels. I got first interested into soul during the old Ska nights at Mayric's where Put3ska's old Brit manager Shane Cosgrove spins these soul gems in between sets, of courese there were old skinhead reggae favorites and ska in his playlist but more often, Soul was the dominant sound every time he's there.

These two compilations are collections of staple sounds from Tamla Motown records preferred during the early 60's mod scene.
