To those of a particular age, the term Mod conjures up images of Mods and Rockers hurling deckchairs at each other on the beaches of Brighton and Clacton during the summer of 1964.However,the origins of Mods go back to the Fifties when the name was used to describe a 'modern' youth culture as distinct from the 'trad' (traditional) one. Although the music favoured by the Mod culture was originally the modern jazz of Dave Brubeck and the Modern Jazz Quartet, as exemplified by 'Take Five' (included here), it wasn't long before jukeboxes in the Mods' favourite coffee bars began playing R&B and Afro-American music, often brought over to the UK by American GIs. To experience the Mod culture properly, don your Italian suit or miniskirt (dependent on gender), put on your parka with RAF roundel on the back (regardless of gender) and rev up your Lambretta scooter to the annoyance of the neighbours. Failing that, just put these albums in the CD player, turn up the volume and wallow in the essence of Mod.

GERAINT WATKINS - Bold As Love '97 @224
Geraint Watkins first came to the world's notice as a keyboard player for Dave Edmunds in the '80s. He's a key element on Nick Lowe's DIG MY MOOD, and this album features the same lineup (including Lowe on bass) as that top-notch release. WATKINS BOLD AS LOVE is a delight from beginning to end, as Watkins proves himself a smooth and engaging singer. Furthermore, his songs run the gamut of genres, and are all tied together with an earthy honesty and commitment. There are slow piano blues numbers ("It's a Wonderful Life"), buoyant swing pieces ("My Happy Day"), heart-riveting pop selections ("Don't Stop"), visits to New Orleans ("Honey Honey"), and more. Watkins revels in the kind of diverse sonic variety that a band like NRBQ does. This stellar album contains not a single false note or half-hearted moment in its 13 great songs. (Allmusic)

THE BYRDS - The Columbia Singles '65-'67 (2002) [US Sundazed LP 5130 Mono LP] (PBTHAL March 2010) @320
When “Mr. Tambourine Man” first rumbled out of car radio speakers in 1965, it was a pivotal moment in pop history. With its jangling 12-string and epic sweep, it was the dawn of a new day: the birth of folk-rock. And the Byrds were just getting started. The next two years saw one hit after another, from the Biblical prophesies of “Turn, Turn, Turn” to the raga-rock of “Eight Miles High,” from the exotic orchestration of “So You Want To Be A Rock ‘N’ Roll Star” to the Byrds bringing it all back home with “My Back Pages.” Here they are again, 30 landmark recordings in their perfectly constructed, radio-friendly mono mixes: the forgotten rarities, withdrawn singles and, of course, all the original A and B-sides. No one has ever had a stronger run of singles than did the Byrds in their prime. No one.

2. I Knew I’d Want You
3. All I Really Want To Do

They are amazingly diverse and good.
Thank you.
Larry - I only have one more Oxford comp that I will share tomorrow. I will also group them all together for anyone who missed any. I want to ask anyone who has the years I missed to please share those comps from this series.
