    Love Simon Dupree and spencer davis

    They were a new twist in the day , In S East London you could easily see them Stones , Bowie or manfred Mann for the price of a few drinks in clubs pubs
    By the late 60s large outdoor festivals some free in Hyde Park or the huge 69 Isle of Wight festival

    This is news?

    Grown men drive ridiculous over the top toy mopeds to teenage music concert.

    To be fair, the one with the L plates on is probably too young to buy a beer anyway.

    They are the mods

    I shouldn't have clicked, the poor ragged wretches looked sadder than Tommy , more like the poor Ukrainian refugees. I had forgotton that half theUK is attired in anoraks, trackshits, shell suits, hand me downs and general Babuschka chic, a large contrast with here Scantynavia , Germany or France where at least the ladies make an effort, Of course in Blackpool these would be hi sos

    ”I was a mod – it’s the only youth cult I’ve ever actually been a whole hearted member of. The great thing about mod was that it was a very snobbish movement. We went to a club in Manchester called the Twisted Wheel – it was the mod club of the country. We used to get people from all over. It was the first place I heard soul music. You never heard any guitar music there – it was all Stax, Motown, Memphis Horns, Booker T and the MGs. Guitar solos not allowed. Strict dress codes, no guitars. At the Twisted Wheel, by 1965, you didn’t actually call yourself a mod any more. People in Burnley called themselves mods, people with targets on their parkas. We called ourselves “stylists” – and shoplifting was the big national sport of the stylists. You’d go to John Michael and pinch things – Ł80 sunglasses. It was a full time job. Food wasn’t high on the agenda, there was no hip food. You blew your wad on cloth, not even records.”
    John Cooper Clarke

    This post is one which I was eager to include within the memories and nostalgia section of this site. Partly because it is one which that I knew I would enjoy writing. However in addition, one which I wanted to share with like minded individuals and friends who have requested that I post the track listings from my 1980s Mod rally cassettes. Here is the story of how I was to reacquaint myself with what I term my “lost tapes”.

    1980s Mod Rally Cassettes

    I am one of those individuals who likes to keep momentoes from throughout my life. Reminders as well as possessions that capture moments and memories that span through nearly my five decades on this planet. A few years ago we made a conscious decision to visit our loft. With good intentions of sorting through a few of our storage boxes. So bearing the above in mind and I’m sure that some can relate to, it was one that was filled with trepidation! However it was a pleasant surprise when I was to stumble across two plastic crates. Furthermore, little was I to know what I would find inside them. These two crates had the contents of some of my memories from my old Mod days in the 1980s. Not only were there an abundance of flyers, tickets, posters, old scrapbooks, letters etc but also in addition, several Mod rally cassettes.




    Furthermore, on viewing the contents, they remained unspoilt throughout those twenty odd or so years in storage. From the day they had been neatly packed and placed in my parent’s loft before I left home, they had been stored in several lofts of homes throughout the last few decades of my life. Consequently these boxes had also been transported over seventy miles in that time too.
    I am perhaps what some people will describe as a hoarder. Maybe for keeping these collections. Some friends and family tell me that they are totally brutal when sorting through their personal possessions and only keep what they deem necessary. However, I am so glad that I chose to keep these boxes of memorabilia.
    One of the main reasons being is that these cassettes are not just any old tapes. Within every spool is the music that defines my memories of the Mod rallies, Mod allnighters and old friendships. Memories of places, times and people three decades on, that many of us continue to remember with fondness.
    I hope that by sharing this collection of 1960s Soul, early Mod music as well as some which is termed Northern Soul, in this and upcoming future posts will evoke many happy memories. Furthermore that it will bring a smile to your face, as it does for me. Music for me personally, is just as good as viewing old photos, because I find music is the next best thing to captivate those times of the photographs that were never taken.




    Below are the track listings from the first of my Mod rally cassettes ;
