"Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers
Come up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers
Come out on the hills, playing little boy soldiers"

Continuing to add archive posts to the substack. This is a great, must have classic mod revival album. The 2020 reissue is excellent too. #vinyl #AwayFromTheNumbers #review #ModRevival

"Time is motion and the hands are fast
Young words are mumbled, they don't always last
It's up to us to be sure they understand"

Record Collector magazine cover featuring The Jam, The Chords and Secret Affair with headlines about their influence on the mod revival scene.
Finally got hold of this month’s Record Collector, and it’s right up my flag pole! #RecordCollector #vinyl #ModRevival #xp
A black album cover with a large blue vinyl record design, labeled "Sharp Class" in the center. Text on left side: "TALES OF A TEENAGE MIND".
A blue vinyl record labeled "SHARP CLASS" on a turntable with tonearm and stylus, spinning on a black surface.
I fibbed. One more. The debut from Sharp Class and, in my opinion, their best so far. Listening to this I feel 17 again. Hard to explain how good this is, but anybody my age who was in to the scene back then will LOVE this #vinyl #ModRevival #xp

A vibrant LP cover for the "Welcome To The Matinee Show" album by Sharp Class, featuring three people on a graffiti-covered wall with a bright orange background.
A close-up of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, with a colorful label at the center reading "SHARP CLASS."
Now on to the brilliant Sharp Class before we eat. I wrote about this band on my blog recently, a modern day mod revival band that are absolutely smashing it out of the park. #vinyl #ModRevival #xp #SharpClass
Track 207 of 400: “D-A-A-ANCE” by Lambrettas
Quite possibly holding some kind of record for its trio of hyphens in what is normally a 5-letter word, this energetic short'n'sweet tune was the second Top 20 hit of 1980 from another in the wave of #ModRevival bands who peppered the UK charts that year.

"Take it as it comes
Doesn't matter, what the source is?
Let them have their fun
Don't fight them with your 'Armed Forces'
Elvis should play ska"

The Jam were too good & too important & by 1979 the mod revival was in full swing, thanks in no small part to The Jam themselves. There's a high quality of the social observation in the Setting Sons songwriting & Weller was in top form.

Track 227 of 400: “MY WORLD” by Secret Affair
Talking of the Jam, they played a pretty significant part in growing the #ModRevival that peaked in 1980. One band to benefit from this was Secret Affair. This was the third and last of the latter's Top 20 hits and arguably their most sophisticated song.
The image features a vinyl album cover titled "Face in the Crowd" by Merton Parkas. It shows four young men dressed in suits, standing on a beach with a pier in the background. The album name and band name are displayed prominently.
A close-up of a vinyl record playing on a turntable. The record features a red label with the title "Beggars Banquet" and the song "Face in the Crowd." The turntable shows part of the tonearm and cartridge.
Last one for now. Cleaning my mod revival collection (in case you didn’t realise) and this is one of my all time favourites. Mick Talbot’s first band. Just fantastic tunes for the era. We loved it. #MertonParkas #vinyl #ModRevival #xp

Here's the first of 3 entries in my countdown for an unfairly overlooked group from SE London, who contributed much to the #ModRevival that overlapped with post-punk around 1980. For some reason, this one's not on Spotify but the others are.
