The In Crowd - The Ultimate Mod Collection From The Original Style Movement 1958 - 1967

Every mod and anyone with taste should own this cd.

Being a mod for many, Many years i was very pleased to find this gem of a boxset again.Every cd is full of timeless gems.

Arrived in great condition and hardly been off my CD player. I would recommend the item and the seller

This is a great box set however I do think it was overpriced I purchased in a moment of madness however I am very pleased with it and I am enjoying listening to it although I don't think my neighbours like it. I just think it could be a bit cheaper and maybe a bit more in the box set compared to the Trojan records anniversary box set it is very sparse and the Trojan one was cheaper. However if you do splash out I don't think you'll regret it.

great very happy

A very good compilation of tracks.

Luckily the time period of this collection ignores the mod revivalist 1980's music of the Jam and subsequent pretenders. What you get here is pretty much an insight into the music of swinging sixties, before all the drugs, hippies and psychedelia took over. Not that there's anything wrong with all that, but this music is particularly of its period and more than any compilation recreates its subject matter in all its glory. A lot of this compilation is American music in particular Soul and R&B, and even Jazz (don't let that put you off, this is far removed from modern Jazz and very much pop music.) What's great about this collection is that unlike the narrower and in my opinion less accesible 'Northern Soul' music a lot of these tracks would have appeared on Motown, Atlantic or even 60's rock and Roll compilations. The music here is very wide indeed, but essentially very good. Maybe there are too many 12 bar blues songs, and some really slow ballads which seem out of place next to the more upbeat songs but overall the tracks are catchy and accessible. The only downside is probably the broad music represented here as whatever your tastes there are bound to be a few tracks you won't like, but there are bound to be so many more you do like. More than recommended for any 60's affecionado; its a must im afraid.

An intelligent, beautifully assembled package, especially the detailed booklet. Not only does it offer smart surveys of mod (The Who, Birds, Creation), Motown, R&B and soul, but it throws in the odd surprise track like "Image" by Alan Haven, a mid-'60s Hammond keyboard specialist who manages to distill the sounds of swinging London '65 and "The Avengers" TV series of the time into an ab fab 2:59. In other words, it's the perfect accompaniment to a night out with John Steed and Emma Peel. It might sound like hype, but, for me, the entire box set was worth purchasing for this one track.

Great variety of music, a lot of old favorites.

なんてこったい！　今まで苦労して集めていた音源が簡単に１００曲も一度に集まってしまうなんて。「ＥＥＬ－ＰＩＥ出版」の「ＭＯＤＳ！」辺りを必死に眺めていた世代（今は再発だからＥＥＬ－ＰＩＥじゃないよ）には本当に「夢の箱」だよ～。。。音は少々悪いが１００曲集めてしまった「粋」に、それこそ「☆☆☆☆☆あげちゃう（かわいい女の子の声でどうぞ）」かなりイギリス物も入ってるのが賛否両論になりそうな内容だけど、ブックレットの満足度は良いと思う（充実度は？？？）「ｍｏｄ　ｃｏｌｌｅｃｔｉｏｎ」を謳ってて１００曲で多いとは思えないが、入門用とか懐古用には丁度いい曲数かもしれない。が！　しかし！　また俺の音源買い漁り癖に火が点いてしまった箱物であった。
