Various - GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK - Mod R&B, Jazz & Ska - 3xCD Box

3-CD, 90 tracks - Compiled and annotated by Lois Wilson (Mojo, Record Collector), Get On The Right Track brings together magnificent recordings, mostly R&B, but with a smattering of jazz and ska, which reflect what mods would have been enjoying on the early to mid sixties club scene.

These mods were defined by their impeccable music taste and their smart clobber. They would dance their nights away at the Scene, to records spun by Guy Stevens, the UK Sue label manager and one of mod’s main pivots. They also frequented the Marquee and Count Suckle’s Roaring Twenties. The first two discs on Get On The Right Track collect together the R&B, blues, soul, jazz and ska singles you would have heard at such clubs. Disc 3, meanwhile, captures the sounds from the same period (many of which were unreleased in the UK at the time) that light up the mod scene today.

Including 20page colour booklet illustrated with UK pressings of many of the featured recordings.
