Last one for today to give the ultrasonic cleaner a rest. The Killermeters started out in 1977 as a punk band but moved quickly on to playing for the mod scene in ‘78. Songs like SX 225 became mod/scooter rally classics. #vinyl #xp #TheKillermeters

Things were moving on in the mid 90s and the new mod interest inspired by Blur and britpop was very different. The Itch had other ideas though. This album emulates the sound of ‘79 and does a pretty good job of it. #vinyl #TheItch #xp

Pete Townshend – Scoop

We kick off with an acoustic version of So Sad About Us, complete with intro by Pete himself. A lovely demonstration of Townshend’s guitar prowess. But, alas, at 2:26 it abruptly stops and he…

Nine Below Zero from 1981. One of the mod revival bands from the time that had longevity and reinvented themselves as a blues/rock band. This, however, is pure mod with some classics like ‘One Way Street’. #vinyl #NineBelowZero #xp

My original copy from 1982 and it’s a little tired, but plays very well. One day I’ll seek out a better copy. Never been reissued, it’s probably my favourite Secret Affair LP. #vinyl #SecretAffair #xp

This one is from 1982 and it’s the official fan club album from Squire. I was so envious of my wealthier friend who owned this back then, but I had to wait until 2015 when it was reissued in this limited edition of 500. I snapped one up! #vinyl #NowPlaying #xp

A close-up view of a vinyl record on a turntable. The record features a label indicating the title "Something Old, Something New" with song listings. The turntable includes a stylus and is positioned on a dark surface.

An album cover featuring a plain white background with teal text. The text reads "SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING BORROWED..." prominently on the left, and "THE OFFICIAL SQUIRE FAN CLUB ALBUM" on the right.

Continuing the cleaning/playing…. This is 1985’s Wild Child from The Untouchables, on Stiff Records. Self proclaimed as ‘America’s first ska band’. They called themselves ‘mods who played ska’. This LP arrived a little too late to have any real impact on the UK mod revival scene. Good album though.
