Description
Long out of print book and now very sought after. Pristine archive copy. Like new.
Featuring the many varied voices of Mod's subculture: from it's inception to the Mods of today.
Through the interpretations of what Mod means to them, along with their individual experiences, the 450 page book, which contains 100's of rare images throughout, brings back to life the whole Mod phenomenon. Among those who are a part of this journey in print are:
Irish Jack Lyons (the young 60's Mod who it is said Pete Townshend based his Jimmy character in 'Quadrophenia' on)
John Leo Waters
Steve Austin (Cover star and original Tottenham Mod)
Gill Evans (One of the earliest Continentalist influenced Mods)
Lloyd Johnson (Early modernist)
John Hellier (the pinnacle of Small Faces knowledge and 60''s Mod)
Don Hughes (celebrated Mod author of 'Friday on My Mind', its sequel 'Pushin' and Shovin' & the 3rd in the trilogy ''The Bigger Picture: Friday On My Mind Part III')
Rob Nicholls (early period Mod)
Terry Rawlings (acclaimed writer of all themes of Mod & related in book form)
Dennis Munday (Jam associate and 60's Mod)
Paul Anderson (acclaimed author of the best selling book 'Mod the New Religion' and lifetime Mod obsessive)
Scarlett Baylis .... and many, many more.
In addition, there is a focus on the early skinhead period by Steve Bush and others, the pre-revival days of Terry Rawlings and 1979 Mods including Robert Lee, & Ed Silvester.
The whole of Mod's rich history is explored.
