While the recordings on Eddie Piller's latest release maybe familiar to diehard fans of great '60s music, the story
behind it will be new to many but is well worth telling - and hearing - all the same.
A lot of youngsters fell in love with the Mod lifestyle during the revival at the end of the '70s, but the more inquisitive
ones - like Eddie - wanted to know more about the original fashions, the original influential figures, and most of all the
original music. Step forward one Randy Cozens, eager to give the benefit of his advice. In those pre-internet days his
platform of choice was the letter pages of the weekly music press. His enthusiasm, his passion, and the sheer volume
of missives he posted persuaded Sounds to commission Randy's guide to the music that was played in the all-nighter
clubs in London's West End in those early '60s halcyon days. And so, the original Mod Top 100 was born.
Eddie has taken Randy's list, and added some personal favourites from the era where original selections are no longer
available. The result is 'Eddie Piller Presents The Mod Top 40', a new 2LP set containing 40 examples of R&B, Soul,
Jazz, and Beat that you would expect to hear on the finest and most discerning dancefloors. With new sleeve notes
from Eddie, and the generous support of Randy's children, Paul and Terry, this release also serves as a fitting tribute to
one of the most influential and important figures on the scene (as Eddie relates, when Randy passed away in 2003
there were more than 500 mods at his funeral, dancing in unison to The Soul Brothers Six and 'I'll Be Loving You').
'Eddie Piller Presents The Mod Top 40', for lovers of vinyl and listeners who want an introduction to some classic Mod
sounds. Both formats are stylishly packaged (of course), include new sleeve notes by Eddie, and track by track details
of when each single was first released in the UK, along with its ranking on Randy's original 1979 list.
'Eddie Piller Presents British Mod Sounds of The 1960s', and 'Eddie Piller Presents British Mod Sounds of The 1960s
Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years' are still available on CD and vinyl.
