Description:
UK three CD collection that pays homage to American mod music from the '60s. Many of the tracks here are drawn from the prestigious back catalogs of Challenge, Scepter/Wand, Etiquette, Swan, Shell, and Select, and a large number of those new to CD. Looking Stateside goes back to the roots of the mod scene on Disc One. From the opening bars of Georgia Lynn's 'Sugar Shack Queen', these are the sounds you might have heard down at The Scene Club in London's Ham Yard (had Guy Stevens or other DJs have owned these tunes on import - for most of them weren't issued in the UK at the time). Mickey Lee Lane's 'Hey Sah Lo Ney' was famously covered by The Action while Curtis Knight was later a fixture on Britain's rock scene of the early '70s. Disc Two offers a superb cross-section of mid-'60s soul, from familiar classics (Chuck Jackson, The Showmen, Don Varner) to more obscure fare (Timi Yuro, The Kampells, Richard Anthony & The Blue Notes) and a whole lotta quality in between. Often, we've chosen less familiar sides. The Newbeats, for example, are represented by the terrific but often overlooked 'I'm A Teardrop'. Disc Three is launched with a hail of buzzsaw fuzz guitar and snotty vocals, courtesy of The Brogues' classic 'Don't Shoot Me Down', and the pace rarely lets up thereafter. Again, the compilers have married bona fide garage punk classics (the Moving Sidewalks, The Sonics, etc.) with a clutch of tracks new to CD and others which have eluded compilations of this sort.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant sound of 1960s America with "Looking Stateside / 80 US RnB, Mod, Soul... (3CD)" - a carefully curated anthology that brings together 80 tracks of raw rhythm & blues, stomping Mod floorfillers and deep, soulful gems from the US. Spread across three CDs, this set maps out the musical fault lines that fed the Mod clubs, soul allnighters and R'n'B scenes on both sides of the Atlantic, making it a perfect discovery journey for both dedicated collectors and curious newcomers. The selection focuses on high-energy dancers, emotive mid-tempo tunes and lesser-known cuts that never lost their underground cult status, preserving the crackling, club-ready atmosphere of the era. Instead of concentrating on a single star, the compilation shines a light on a broad spectrum of artists and labels, showing just how diverse and adventurous the American R&B and soul landscape was in those years. Whether you're into gritty vocals, punchy brass sections or infectious backbeats, this set offers a stylistically rich cross-section of US Mod-related sounds that invites repeated, attentive listening.
Stylistically, the 3-CD box traces the lines between early R&B, emerging soul, Northern-leaning stompers and cuts that became staples in Mod and scooterist scenes. Hard-driving club tracks sit comfortably alongside more sophisticated, string-laden arrangements and raw, small-studio productions, making the compilation feel like an expertly programmed DJ set rather than a random song dump. The sequencing across the discs is designed to keep the energy flowing while still providing dynamic contrast, so you can play each disc straight through and experience a natural rise and fall of intensity. The sound focuses on authenticity and period flavour, allowing the original character of the recordings to come through, which is particularly appealing for listeners who value the warmth and immediacy of 1960s productions. As a result, "Looking Stateside" works equally well as a background soundtrack for a retro-themed evening and as a crate-digging session at home, when you want to sit down and really explore the depth of US R&B and soul.
"Looking Stateside / 80 US RnB, Mod, Soul... (3CD)" is released by Cherry Red, a long-established UK independent label known for its lovingly compiled reissues and genre overviews. Over the years, Cherry Red has built a strong reputation among music enthusiasts for its deep catalog work, detailed liner notes and respect for musical subcultures - from punk and new wave to soul, funk and beyond. Their compilations often serve as authoritative introductions to niche scenes and forgotten corners of music history, and this set continues that tradition with a focus on the American sounds that inspired generations of Mod and soul fans. With its coherent concept, broad stylistic range and collector-minded presentation, this 3-CD collection is an ideal addition for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of US R&B, Mod and soul beyond the obvious hits and into the richly textured underground of the era.
