Product Description
“The most
enlightening and informative mod collection yet to see issue, ‘Boogie Chillen’
not only provides a fascinating history lesson, but also delivers a compelling
3 ½ hours of great music. At the start of the sixties, Britain bore witness to
a new, brash youth movement, which up until the onset of hippy-dom later that
decade, dominated the country s fashion and musical landscape. These young
modernists embraced a smart, stylish look along with the coolest sounds
emanating from the US, and later, Jamaica. While the subculture eventually
faded from British mainstream consciousness, it has never disappeared
altogether, attracting new followers worldwide with each new generation. Yet
despite its enduring popularity, the music that inspired the original mod
stylists has remained largely undocumented. Boogie Chillen sets to put the
record straight, collecting 75 of the most popular and influential tracks on
the burgeoning mod scene of the early sixties. Annotated and compiled by first
generation mod, Rob Nicholls, the 3CD set takes a musical journey, highlighting
an array of classic R&B, jazz and rock & roll classics that found
favour among those considered Britain s coolest youths. Disc One features
recordings from 1952 through to 1960, from the elemental electric blues of John
Lee Hooker, Slim Harpo and Elmore James, to the jazz grooves of Cannonball
Adderley, via the rock & roll of Link Wray and Dale Hawkins. There are R&B
cuts of all shades, from the New Orleans sounds of Huey Smith and Frankie Ford
to the polished sound of Lloyd Price. Discs Two and Three concentrates on the
early 1960s, presenting sounds that were contemporaneous with the blossoming
mod club scene. The net is cast wide to include James Brown, early Motown and
Stax sides, the Latin jazz of Ray Barretto and the sophisticate vocals of Mel
Torme. It is this variety of styles that sets Boogie Chillen apart from other
mod compilations: the early mod scene embraced all forms of popular music from
Neil Sedaka to Booker T & The MG s as long as it satisfied the discerning
early mods taste for cool grooves and rocking rhythms.”
