Eddie Piller fell in love with the Mod lifestyle during the revival at the end of the '70s, but wanted to know more about the original fashions, the original influential figures, and most of all the original music. Step forward one Randy Cozens, eager to give the benefit of his advice; his platform of choice was the letter pages of the weekly music press. His enthusiasm, his passion, and the sheer volume of missives he posted persuaded Sounds to commission Randy's guide to the music that was played in the all-nighter clubs in London's West End in those early '60s halcyon days.
Eddie has taken Randy's list, and added some personal favourites from the era where original selections are no longer available. The result is'Eddie Piller Presents The Mod Top 40, a new 2LP set containing 40 examples of R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Beat that you would expect to hear on the finest and most discerning dancefloors.
