Mods Mayday '79 Artist VARIOUS ARTISTS Format:LP Label:RADIATION REISSUES Catalogue No:RRS199 Barcode:8055515233858 No of Discs:1 Release Date:6 Oct 2023
Following the success of the Who’s Quadrophenia and The Jam’s stunning debut LP,
Britain was hit by a full-on mod revival, the scene mushrooming in the late 1970s and early 80s.
To showcase the phenomenon, Bridgehouse Records staged a gala concert in Canning Town in May 1979,
featuring Secret Affair, the Mods, Squire, Beggar, and other acts, many of whom hailed from the
Big Smoke’s suburban edges. This edition comes complete with two bonus tracks from the revered
Merton Parkas, a short-lived group that featured future
Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Style Council main man, Mick Talbot. A must for all mod die-hards!
