Who else but Eddie Piller could offer an almost exhaustive overview of the music beloved by the Mods in the 1960s? Fallen into this “modernist” culture born in London thanks to his mother, who managed the fan club of The Small Faces, the flagship group of the genre, Eddie Piller founded Extraordinary Sensations, a fanzine dedicated to the mod revival in 1979, before creating the Acid Jazz label with Gilles Peterson. As a fine connoisseur of the mod scene, Pillar sweeps wide over the hundred tracks gathered on six vinyls (or four CDs) of this historic box set: alongside the essential leaders (The Small Faces therefore, The High Numbers, who will go down in history under the name of The Who, The Kinks, The Action…) and soon-to-be-superstar beginners (David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Jeff Beck…), he endeavored to give obscure people a chance, who sometimes couldn’t even release records at the time. An anthology that makes you want to put on a Fred Perry polo shirt, climb on a Lambretta and go on a trip.
