 | | Description: | Curated by Acid Jazz Records and Modcast founder Eddie Piller, â??British Mod Sounds of The 1960s Volume 2: The
Freakbeat & Psych Yearsâ? is the follow up to the hugely successful â??British Mod Sounds of The 1960sâ?, featuring 95
original tracks across a 4CD set - a deep dive into the post-Mod scene in '60s Britain. Featuring a selection of classic
and rare tracks, tracing the scene from early '65 to the dawn of a new decade.
Even before Demon's well received 2022 box set 'British Mod Sounds of The 1960s' was released conversations were
being had around a follow-up, though rather than just offering a straight if slightly diluted second volume, compiler
Eddie Piller decided to put together a collection exploring "What the Mods did next". Once again, long conversations
(and the occasional heated debate) were had to ensure the quality of music and attention to detail were second to
none. Anything less just wouldn't be the Mod way.
The British Mod bands that had made the first half of the decade so exciting were still around but inevitably their
influences had changed. No longer content with re-hashing American R&B, the scene split in multiple directions, not all
of it forward looking - some hardened their up-tempo sound and gradually evolved into what we would come to know
as Freakbeat. Others bought in psychedelic, esoteric or Eastern influences. A third strand explored a more pastoral or
Folk based route. Simply put, songs and hair got longer.
Before the decade was out the choices for the discerning listener included Jazz-Rock, Proto-Prog, Whimsy, Heavy Rock,
and Psychedelic Soul - even sounds derived from Cockney music-hall made an appearance.
'Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years' tracks the development of the original Mod mainstays (the Small Faces, The
Who, The Action, The Kinks), with a generous selection of future superstars (David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Fleetwood Mac,
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Steve Howe of Yes are all represented here), alongside a few artists so obscure, so
rare, that they never got to release a record in the '60s, but Eddie has tracked down the tapes nonetheless.
Stylishly packaged (of course) and including a new sleeve note by Richard Norris, author, musician, producer and DJ,
who worked at pioneering psychedelic reissue label Bam Caruso in the '80s, produced Joe Strummer's Mescaleros, but
is perhaps best known as one half of Techno duo The Grid and the critically acclaimed group Beyond The Wizard's
Sleeve. - .. BRITISH MOD SOUNDS OF THE 1960S VOLUME 2: THE FREAKBDouble vinyl LP pressing. Curated by Acid Jazz Records and Modcast founder Eddie Piller, British Mod Sounds of The 1960s Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years is the follow up to the hugely successful British Mod Sounds of The 1960s. Featuring 31 original tracks across two LPs. This set is a deep dive into the post-Mod scene in '60s Britain. Featuring a selection of classic and rare tracks, tracing the scene from early '65 to the dawn of a new decade. Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years tracks the development of the original Mod mainstays (the Small Faces, The Who, The Action, The Kinks), with a generous selection of future superstars (David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Steve Howe of Yes are all represented here), alongside a few artists so obscure, so rare, that they never got to release a record in the '60s, but Eddie has tracked down the tapes nonetheless."Eddie Piller Presents - British Mod Sounds Of The 1960s Volume 2: The Freakbeat & Psych Years" on LP by Edsel is a carefully curated deep dive into one of the most adventurous phases of British 1960s music. This compilation focuses on the moment when sharp-suited Mod energy morphed into raw Freakbeat power and blossomed into kaleidoscopic Psychedelia. Across the LP, you can expect fuzz-driven guitars, urgent rhythms, swirling organs and experimental studio touches that capture the restless spirit of mid-to-late-60s Britain. Rather than concentrating on obvious hits, the selection highlights cult tracks, underground favorites and lesser-known gems that defined the edgier fringes of the Mod scene as it evolved. It's designed both for collectors who want a coherent snapshot of this era and for newcomers looking for a guided tour through British Freakbeat and Psych without filler.
Eddie Piller, a leading figure and historian of Mod culture, brings a curator's ear to this volume. Known for his long involvement with the Mod revival, specialist radio shows and reissue projects, he approaches the track list as both archivist and fan: sequencing songs to tell a story of transition from club-driven R&B and beat to more experimental, mind-bending sonics. The LP format underlines the listening experience, encouraging you to hear each side as a journey--from tight, propulsive tunes that would shake a dance floor to more expansive psychedelic explorations that reflect the changing soundscape of the late 1960s.
Edsel, the label behind this release, has built a strong reputation as a reissue and catalog specialist, known for high-quality pressings, thoughtful compilations and detailed archival work. Over the years, Edsel has become a trusted name for collectors seeking well-researched, carefully mastered reissues that respect the original recordings while making them accessible to new audiences. With this LP, Edsel and Eddie Piller collaborate to offer a rich, stylistically focused portrait of British Mod's wilder side--perfect for fans of 60s rock, garage, Freakbeat and early Psychedelia who want a cohesive, expertly compiled listening experience. | | | No. of tracks: |
