Trojan Presents Mod Ska

Published By: Laurence Date: October, 19 2012 Genre: Ska

The early sixties bore witness to a mass British youth movement that promptly acquired the universally acknowledged name: Mod. Between 1962 and 1966, Mod culture dominated both the fashion and music landscape, with the look and sound of young Jamaica playing a significant role in its development.

 

Along with American R&B and Jazz, Ska music remained consistently high on the Mod agenda and it is this much loved genre that provides the focus of this collection.

 

Annotated by original Mod, Robert Nicholls and supported by the widely respected Mod Generation site, 'Trojan Presents Mod Ska' features 40 Ska, Calypso and early Rock Steady favourites of the original sixties scene, originally issued in the UK as such seminal record labels as Blue Beat, Island and Doctor Bird, 17 of which make their CD debut.

 

Priced at just £4.99, 'Trojan Presents Mod Ska' is released on 29th October, along with itwo more titles in the popular range, 'Trojan Presents Boss Reggae' and 'Trojan Presents The Producers', with copies of all three available now for pre-order from the Trojan shop.

    Got the cd today - interesting and extensive accompanying notes by original 60's mod, Rob Nicholls, and the tracks are of course perfection! Well done - a fantastic collection!
